I have restored my email account - how can I have my files restored to my Dropbox?

I have restored my email account and need to have my files restored to my account so I can access them.      I have been unsuccessfull.

    Hi gjdarr1954, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

     

    You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link

    From there you should be able to contact support. Make sure to pick an email to which you can receive and send emails from.

    I have been paying 1999 per month on auto pay for the files to be kept.

      You need to provide more information before anyone will know how best to help you.

       

      What was the original issue? Were you unable to sign in to your account because you lost the email, and now you have the email back? Have you tried signing in to the account now that you have your email back? If so, what happens? etc.

        Original issue, unable to log into account because me email address has been hacked.

        Now my files are all missing with decades of information

    Hi there, gjdarr1954, and thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.

     

    If I understand correctly, you've restored access to your email account and now need to access your Dropbox account, right?

     

    Or do you already have access to the Dropbox account, but not to your files? 

     

    If you can clarify that, it would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks!

        Does Drop box have a phone connect number to support?
