The links in the message do actually point to DropBox.

Hey Folks - thanks for your reports here; most appreciated.
Could you please let me know if it would be OK with you if I reached out to you via email to the address(es) you use for your forum's profile(s) to have a more in-depth look into this for you?
In the meantime, could you also reply here with screenshots (and/or any additional piece of information you think might help our investigation) of the whole email you received (omitting any personal information) so we all can have a visual of this?
Thanks!

You do have permission to contact me. It might be easier for me to just forward the e-mail to you instead of doing a screenshot. This will seem odd, but thanks to my company's corporate security, I can't upload anything from my work computer that hasn't been whitelisted. I'm usually interacting with this topic during the day, so by the time I get home I forget that I was going to upload a screenshot.
- Walter7 years agoDropbox Staff
I just sent you an email too Chris - check your email's inbox for my message and we'll take it from there.
Thanks again ChrisJones2112!
