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

I received an email from no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com that said I had a shared file waiting for me. Has anyone else gotten this? Is this a valid email address from Dropbox?

Hi dm-2023, I'd be more than happy to help!
If you take a look at this Help Center article about the official Dropbox domains, you'll see that em-s.dropbox.com is an official Dropbox domain.
Therefore, the informative email seems to be coming from us, indeed.
I hope this helps!

So if emails from "no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com" are from a valid address, why does it seem like so many people are getting bogus emails from it?
I also had one this morning and immediately did not trust it. The subject was "Files shared with you." I didn't trust it because it didn't tell me who shared files with me, like it normally does. I logged into my account and, sure enough, as I suspected, there were no new files shared with me.
From this experience and reading other replies, my hunch is to ignore anything from "em-s.dropbox.com." All my legitimate emails from Dropbox come from "dropbox.com."
