They are phishing emails designed to steal your credentials.
They are not from Dropbox, its somebody pretending to be Dropbox so they can steal your account details when you click on the link - or, put viruses on your machine by clicking on the link.
I suggest you immediately change your password at www.dropbox.com/account if you have entered any info on that screen and also run some up to date virus/malware scans

No I wasn't so gullible as to enter anything on that screen :) Thankfully I use a master password key that opens when I am in a legit website that I have an account with, so if that doesn't pop up - I'm automatically on high alret that it's spam/phishing.
I've had one too. Didn't click on email link of course, but wondering if Dropbox have one of those addresses to forward phishing mail on to?
