Phishing pop-up notification on my phone for a shared file

I received a pop-up dropbox notification to share with a "Losurdo Inc". I never received one from someone I don't know or action I didn't make. I pressed it to see what it was but it popped up and I deleted it. It remained in activity and recent files without the 3 dots. All my other files have them so I can delete. The file was named " Losurdo Inc_Missing PO#32686.docx". I disconnected all my devices and Uninstaller then installed back. I no longer see it, but how can a party have access to dropbox to send a dropbox notification? Have I been hacked? Any advise would be helpful. Thanks, K2A

Hi there, @K2A, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

This sounds like a notification for a shared file, which is something any Dropbox user can send you, if they know your email address.

Of course, if you don't recognize the sender or the file and you think it's suspicious, you can report it to us.

Here are all the ways you can report this and more info on how to protect your account from phishing attempts and viruses.

Let me know if you have any questions.
