Is the email: em-s.dropbox.com legitimate? [Answer: Yes]
I have received an e-mail telling me of a new document available for me in Dropbox. The e-mail is from an address that ends with " em-s.dropbox.com ". Can anybody confirm that " em-s. " is a valid ad...

Hi Everybody,
I can confirm that these emails were sent from the Dropbox domain and are not harmful. This is one of the official domains Dropbox uses to send out emails. You can find the full list of domains here: https://help.dropbox.com/security/official-domains.
You can safely ignore them, though there was no negative impact to your account if you did click through the emails. You should not receive anymore emails of this type.
Regards,

My husband received exactly the same message on the same date. We’ve never heard of R & J Palmer. I think it’s a scam.

Hey Rowancorner, sorry to hear about this.
If you ever receive a Dropbox related email that is not coming from the official addresses here, you can always report it to us, by forwarding the email itself to abuse@dropbox.com.
The team will know what to do about it, if it's fraudulent or a scam.
