Authorization code for business account.
I need to access a group account for a nonprofit I work for, not frequently but occasionally. As it is now, when I sign in from home to the group account, it sends email to the owner of the account and she has to send the code to me. But she is not always available, and sometimes I need to do something at night, and hate to bother her for the code. Is there some way to bypass the code, or can she authorize me to get the code for myself?
I appreciate the need for verification for access, but it is a problem for me on this account...
Thanks, hope you can help.

In short, no.
What you're doing is actually a violation of the terms and could result in the account being disabled or even deleted. Dropbox accounts are meant for individuals and should not be shared like that. One person should not be using someone else's account to sign in.
If you need access to files within the account, you should have your own account and the owner can share the files with you. Or, if it's a Business team account, they can invite you to join the team, in which case your account would be merged into the team and use one of their licenses.
