Have you turned off the notification in your account?
As a matter of fact I do have noticed that the emails have now gotten cleaner and more convincing. Thank you!
They are still so sketchy that I googled it and ended up in this thread. This is not the worst subject line I've read from dropbox but it's not good, either.
The body of the message does not reflect the subject (is my account at risk of deactivation? It has been maybe a month since I last accessed my account but that's just the sporadic way I use it) in any way. The email is just a general ad for dropbox with several links to the service. "Whether you're at your computer or on the go, Dropbox has you covered." Well sure, that's ... what I signed up for?
Also "please read" is weird to put in a medium that is, in essence, always read by the recipient. It sounds awkward and spammy.
All in all, there are so many different kinds of red flags in these emails that I am stunned to find they're actually real.
