Hey adrian29630, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
The email address this email came from, is a legit Dropbox email address, but good thinking that you reported it, if it looked suspicious to you.
You can take a look at this thread for more info on the particular notification.
Also, when you report something to the abuse@dropbox.com address, the team won't reply to your report, it will just take down the content, if it's indeed abusive/phishing, etc., that's why you didn't get a reply.
I hope this clarifies the situation, but let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Hannah
Thanks for the reply. Maybe the email is legit but when I looked at my Dropbox account there was no new shared file waiting for me. The email contained a link that also looked potentially genuine but might well have led to some type of malware or enabled the insertion of a virus. Dropbox makes it very difficult to find any help or connection to support. You have to search around for it and as you say even in the event of an abuse they cannot even be bothered to respond. Why bother to provide a ticket number that goes nowhere?
Very poor customer service and support.
