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 ad...

Hi Everybody,
I can confirm that these emails were sent from the Dropbox domain and are not harmful. This is one of the official domains Dropbox uses to send out emails. You can find the full list of domains here: https://help.dropbox.com/security/official-domains.
You can safely ignore them, though there was no negative impact to your account if you did click through the emails. You should not receive anymore emails of this type.
Regards,
Ben

Hello,
I was checking my emails and came across an email from dropbox, the email body looks 100% legit no spelling mistakes no numbers either, but the address looks questionable, the email is no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com. The email subject is "top strategies to maximize your potential", the email body seems to be about dropbox cloud storage (for free), exercise for 20 minutes, free password manager and turning on camera uploads if that's any help to anyone.
I've tried searching here and I've tried searching the email address on google but haven't found anything on it, so I'm wondering if it's legit before I end up blocking the email.

Hey cosmodoc, thanks for letting us know about this.
The em-s.dropbox.com domain is actually one of our official Dropbox domains; what's the email you received about?
Can you send us a screenshot?

Hey there, Bill S., I hope you're doing well!
If you have a look at our official Dropbox domains, you'll see this is indeed an email coming from us, informing you about how you can sync your files between devices.
Let me know if you need anything else, thanks!
