Hi Dropbox Support and Community,   I received an email from Dropbox notifying me that some content shared with me by the Love Team will be permanently deleted on May 26, 2025. The email included...

Are sure this is legit?  I just got a similar email and looks like a phishing scam.

Hey Brich, let's jump right into this! 

Did the email come from an official Dropbox domain? 

Have you also checked your deleted files page, and events page like Hannah suggested above? 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
