Weird email - is this really from Dropbox?

I received an email in my language, which can be translated to:
LISTEN: We recommend you finish your Dropbox-installation ASAP.

I haven’t started installing it anywhere new, so why did I get this email?

Are you sure it's a legitimate email, and really from Dropbox? Has anyone referred you to Dropbox lately?

Hi Rich!
I’m as sure as I can be. Checked the email address (no-reply@dropbox.com) and the address at the bottom (Dropbox International Unlimited Company
One Park Place, Hatch St. Dublin 2, Ireland
Visa integritetspolicy | Avsluta prenumeration)

I saw someone else write that Dropbox emails are looking “spammy”, and I’ve thought the same thing lately.

No, no one has referred me to Dropbox lately.

You could try forwarding it to abuse@dropbox.com so they can look at it

I would like to know why I received an email yesterday about completing a setup. As I’ve been using Dropbox for several years now, I don’t understand why or if it’s necessary to do so.

Hi @Englishteacher, let's have a look!

Is it possible that the address you received this email to, is linked to another Dropbox account of yours?

Would you be able to send me a screenshot of the email in question? Just make sure no personal info is shown there. Also, is the domain this message came from, an official Dropbox domain?

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

I already have an account but I received this kind of email message more than once. However, for me, this started after I started to log in online and stopped when online I got the same kind of confusing message as I was logging in, as if I never had an account before. I stopped in case something needs to be fixed somehow. I don’t know what to do about this.

Hi anonymous!

Do you mind uploading a screenshot of the email you received? Also, please make sure that the sender is showing (you can hide any other personal info that may be included).

Thanks.

Hey anonymous, thanks for the screenshot here.

Would you mind sending another one that'll be showing the email address of the sender?

Is the email coming from one of these official Dropbox domains?
