Hey AnnaB24, can you have your recipient add no-reply@dropbox.com to their email contacts, to see if that helps?
Also, this is a list of email domains that Dropbox uses in an official capacity, so have them make sure that none of them are blocked or black listed.

That's weird because we are using Gmail and even this well-known mailing box, it is not working.
Nevertheless, thank you for your help.
