I tried to connect Onlyoffice app to my Dropbox account on my phone (android) and should then prove that I am "human" by sorting a puzzle of placing a figure in a seat by combining a number wíth some icon. Even though I managed to sort the puzzle (several times) the Captcha just started over again. It was a terrible waste of time, when I just wanted to be able to write in my drop box files using onlyoffice and I feel really stupid that I am actually PAYING for this. Even though I until now have been a happy drop box customer. There must be other ways. Also it is difficult to see the icons, and being both a bit seeing and hearing impaired I feel that You are letting me down.

Hello, My dropbox account was compromised and they fully locked me out with 2fa. I did not set up the 2fa so I can't kick them out. I just want to close the account. I don't need access. What should I do? I sent off an email to support.27Views0likes1CommentI didn't unlink my old devices and now I've reached the 3-device limit. How can I remove them?
I owned two computers. I had installed Dropbox basic on both. Then I recently purchased two new, replacement computers and trashed those old ones (before unlinking the Dropbox account from either one). I realize now (and I should have realized then) what a stupid thing that was. I downloaded the Dropbox app and installation went fine on one of the new, replacement computers. When I attempted to install Dropbox on the second new computer, I received a message that said I already had reached the maximum 3 computers linked to my Dropbox account. Since the old computers no longer exist, is there now any way to Unlink those devices from my Dropbox account?Solved33Views0likes3CommentsI need to re-create a new Dropbox account with the same email address as the old one.
Hi, An account was accidentally registered two days ago. It needs to be re-registered under the same email today. No files need to be recovered; the account needs to be completely re-created. I cannot wait 29 days unfortunately, I'm hoping to get support to speed this up. I can give details in private message.40Views0likes5CommentsI can't sign in to view my support ticket.
My account was disabled and I don't know why. I contacted support and they responded however I can't view their response ticket because I can't login. What am I supposed to do? If I don't respond in a couple days, then the support request will be closed.9Views0likes1CommentHow can I merge two accounts together?
In the past I had a Dropbox account for me and my wife. My wife passed away in 2020. My name and sex changed in 2022. Accidently I have a new Dropbox-account at my current name. How can I merge these accounts into one? Best regards, Marianne38Views0likes3CommentsLocked out of an account while trying to update the email address
I am a registered disabled person, in Australia, and several of my service providers use your e-signing system for me to access my services. So, I am currently unable to access critical support services until this matter is resolved. When changing an account email address, your workflow is designed so poorly that it is possible to update the email address in the account before we have verified the new email address, in the email you have sent. So, when we try to verify the new email address to log in, it states: "Please confirm your email or use old email address to login." However, the old email address in the account we've just updated has already been changed. So when we try to log into it, it says: "Invalid username or password." Now I can't contact you from that account at all because I am locked out of it and the only way you can open a ticket is by logging in. I have had to resort to asking a friend to post this to the forum to see if there is anything we can do to resolve this!27Views0likes1CommentMy iPhone was stolen and two-factor authentication is preventing my account access.
My iphone was stolen, and two factor authentication is stopping me from logging in. A code is supposed to be sent to my new phone, but I never receive it. Sometimes I receive an error message that says there was an error sending the code. I changed my password on my account with the Apple Private Relay address, but I am not receiving the code, so I can’t logon. I have 2 factor authentication on, and I can’t get the code from the Auth App either because of the stolen phone. See attached screenshot with error message Dropbox Support staff says I will never be able to recover my account because the email address is an Apple private relay address and I cannot send them an email from this address. This is ridiculous. I have recovered other accounts elsewhere that use Apple’s private relay address. Dropbox Support says they are going to just close my Help Desk Ticket without helping me further/with no resolution. This seems to be bad security recovery design. I would appreciate any help in gaining access to my account. I only have one device- my new iPhone. Thanks156Views0likes8Comments
