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.

Dropbox StaffSo if emails from "no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com" are from a valid address, why does it seem like so many people are getting bogus emails from it?
I also had one this morning and immediately did not trust it. The subject was "Files shared with you." I didn't trust it because it didn't tell me who shared files with me, like it normally does. I logged into my account and, sure enough, as I suspected, there were no new files shared with me.
From this experience and reading other replies, my hunch is to ignore anything from "em-s.dropbox.com." All my legitimate emails from Dropbox come from "dropbox.com."
