      Thanks, Kevin.

       

      The upload link doesn't look like anything suspicious, nor does the email itself, to be honest; it seems to be a legit Dropbox email.

       

      But do you know the person in the email? If not, you can either forward the email itself to abuse@dropbox.com, if it seems suspicious, or simply just ignore it.
