a phisher loaded a spam file on in my dropbox and the three dots are not giving me the option to delete the file. I can delete all my other files/folders.  Suggestions? Thanks!

Hey @dbailey747, let's jump right into this!

 

How did that happen exactly? Did someone have access to your Dropbox account, or is this a shared file? 

 

What options do you see on your end, when clicking the ellipsis next to the file? 

 

Let me know more!
