Understood. There should be a process especially for upgraded accounts for a situation like this. How do I contact support? Is there an email?

The issue was I now have a new basic dropbox account so the email option doesnt show up. Missed the step to do it not signed in. Opend in a new browser that was not signed in and was able to use the Can't sign in? option to send the email. Thanks for the assistance. fingers crossed!
