Google files moving to Google Drive

I saw a warning that says that Google files (.gdoc, .gsheet and .gslides) in my Dropbox account will be automatically moved to My Google Drive.
The question is: does this warning appears only to user that do have such type of files or to all Dropbox users without distinction?

I've searched my Dropbox for .gdoc, .gsheet and .gslides files without results, so why the warning is appearing in my Dropbox account?

    The message is likely sent to everyone as I received it as well and I don't use Google files within Dropbox. It's good information to have even if you haven't used the feature before. It would prevent someone from starting, only to have their files migrated or converted.

      Thanks for you answer.
      My opinion is that if someone doesn't have Google Files in its Dropbox space should not receive the amount of notifications i received as if an active action should be necessary.

      From Dropbox I expect a specific notification saying "You currently don't have Goolge Files in our cloud so no action is required from you" instead of several unnecessary warning messages forcing me to do several searches (with no results) in my Dropbox space.
