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

Exact same email here I accessed Dropbox independently (i.e. without using the link in the email) and there was nothing there.

I've got the same message, would like to know if this is phising?

I received the same email message:
"Hi David,
Just a heads-up – you've got a shared file waiting for you. Click the button below to check it out whenever you're ready!"
The subject is: "Files shared with you"
The unsubscribe link below also looks dicey.
Please advise.
