Invites@dropbox-notifications.net. Is this an official Dropbox domain?
Anyone know if this is a legitimate email address used by Dropbox? Invites@dropbox-notificstions.net

Also, given that its registered by an individual in the UK and not Dropbox its almost certainly not legit.

The actual registrant used a third-party service as the registrant to hide their identity. Domains registered by Dropbox have their information listed publicly.

That's likely not the real name of any particular company and is instead just the name used for a domain privacy service, and in this case, one that's registered in the UK. That doesn't mean the real owner of the domain is in the UK. They could be anywhere.
Most TLDs (top level domains, such as .com, .net, .cc, etc.) can be registered by anyone regardless of location (with some exceptions). The .net TLD is one that can be registered by anyone, anywhere.
