Hey b012b012bb, let's jump right into this!

 

First things first: do you have any other devices that are linked to your Dropbox account (via the mobile/desktop app)?

 

If yes, please check their notifications and let me know if you can see the one-time code there.

 

If not, can you access the email address showing here, so that we can log a ticket for you?

 

Keep me posted!

I have an old Gmail account that I deleted and can no longer access. When I try to login to my Dropbox account, it sends a code to that email address. I know the password, can't receive the code to that email address. Can someone update the email address on my old account or offer another solution?

 

No devices.

Can provide original account email
