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 adjunct to " dropbox.com ", or is it sooner a trick? Thank you.Solved102KViews3likes122Comments
[security] Got a Dropbox security code email, but 2-factor verification is *off*. Reasons?
Hey I received the following email yesterday, sent to the email address used for registering my Dropbox account: Hi [first name] [6-digit code] is your one-time Dropbox security code. Happy Dropboxing! - The Dropbox Team However, 2-factor authorization is turned off for my account. I just checked it again, 2FA was, and still is, disabled. A cursory glance at the source suggests the email was sent by Dropbox. I know sender addresses can be spoofed, but the URL in the email was the real one, so I don't see a reason to believe it's a scam/phishing mail. My question is then: Are there any other cases (other than on accounts with 2FA enabled) when Dropbox would send a one-time security code by email?Solved19KViews3likes22Comments
Received a "Complete your DropBox setup" e-mail out of nowhere
I just received a "Complete your DropBox setup" e-mail with instructions for doing just that -- it has the usual checklist in the e-mail and shows step 1 "create a dropbox account" as completed but then shows the next step as "download the desktop and mobile apps". Well, what exactly triggered this e-mail? Because I've been a member already for many, many years, and I already have both the mobile and desktop apps installed and set up on multiple devices. I haven't done anything recently that is out of the ordinary. It's just doing its thing on each of those clients. This worries me that someone has somehow triggered.Solved9KViews2likes18Comments
