Hi Megan,
Thanks for chiming in so quickly.
Just to be clear, I received the email, then went to my Dropbox account, and saw the shared item in something called Dropbox Paper. I removed access to the Paper Documents folder which appears to take a user into the Dropbox Paper app, but the file remained in the shared documents area. I was eventually able to click on the three lines at the right of the file and select "Remove Me". It would still be beneficial from a Dropbox standpoint to track down these spammers who apparently can utilize Dropbox for their nefarious plans. Is there a way to report or block the email address using Dropbox software to pfish?
