    In addition it asks me to login to Microsoft which I do not understand.

    Sounds like a clear phishing attempt to me.

    Hi Balloonman, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Does this email have any Dropbox logos, or was it sent from one of our official Dropbox domains?

     

    If you hover over the blue link (don't clicking it please) does the URL have anything related to Dropbox?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

        Okay, that is a valid URL for Dropbox, since DocSend is part of the services we offer. 

         

        If the sender of the email is from docsend.com, then it is an official domain.
