Legimate URL or not?

Hello, Got e-mail from person who wanted to share some documents over Dropbox, but URL seems suspicious - [Removed as per Community Guidelines] Requires login, but really doesn't seem to work properly.

    That's good news, since these are phishing sites that create fake sites to get login details. Just in case, it might still be a good security measure to change your password, if the email is somewhat similar to your own one.

    Hi Hando Veskioja, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    This isn't an official Dropbox domain. Did you attempt to login using your Dropbox credentials, or any other?

     

    Have you tried to change your Dropbox password since then?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hi,

       

      I tried to log in, but actually I used wrong e-mail address. So I didn't enter my dropbox e-mail or password there.

       

      Edited later - I did change my dropbox password, just in case.
