Hi @Jay.
I'm Anna and I have a similiar problem to @DanielleJB, I created my dropbox account 11 years ago using my university email addess and have not changed it since. Now that I am locked out, I am unable to access neither my dropbox account nor my original email address!

- Candacejack4 years agoExplorer | Level 4I have the same issue, I know my user and password, though, my password was expired and the email connected to my Dropbox is no longer active (9yrs now). I need pictures for a funeral. I never received a response for 2 ticket# 14685434 & 14711125. It seems that this is a common issue for years, why hasn't this been resolved. Please assist. I need my pictures.

I doubt you're gonna get far with this Candacejack unfortunately. Dropbox did a bunch of manual verifications on me, concluded that I'm the owner of the account and then proceeded to reset my password, locking me out completely. Now I'm not even getting a prompt to enter a code anymore, and Dropbox is telling me that "if you don't have access to the email address registered to your Dropbox account and do not know the password, unfortunately we have no way to help you regain access to that account".
They just don't care about small fries like us anymore.
- Candacejack4 years agoExplorer | Level 4Unbelievable, I bet you they will care when it's all over social media.
Thank you very much.
- Jludvigson4 years agoNew member | Level 2Jay can you help me? I am so heartbroken. I had all of my sons baby photos stored on a Dropbox that was linked to an email account that is no longer valid. I went to log in and it said the password is expired and it will send a link to the non existant email! I can give a ton of information, login, previous password, anything!! I am terrified I lost my sons photos forever 💔 😢 using my husband's login to get to this forum and ask for help...
