However the dropbox link he sent - which ...

This is very much a scam. The drlve.rnweb.co domain and the fake Microsoft sign-in are a phishing attempt. The email you received through Dropbox was likely a legitimate email from the service, but it was being used to send a document intended to scam you.
Forward everything you have to abuse@dropbox.com.

Do you have his phone or email? Contact him and ask if he sent this to you. I'd bet that he didn't, and that his account was compromised and is being used by a scammer.

Dropbox StaffHey dev1375, let's jump right into this!
Can you confirm if the email came from an official Dropbox domain or not?
It sounds odd that the file would re-direct you to Microsoft, I have to admit. Do you have access to the sender's email, in order to confirm if they've sent you anything?
Let me know more!
Hi megan
so the sender sent us a link to https://docsend.com/view/xxxxxxxxxx which looks valid ... however when we click on this link ...it opens the docsend portal ...and from there we have a page which asks us to click on a link to access the document ...now that is very weird behaviour.
when we click on the link to https://docsend.com/view/xxxxxxxxxx - we would expect to have access to the documents right away.
You can see a snap of what we see when we click on the docsend link below
