Received shared folder from unknown party
The folder name suggests that someone has access to all of my client's files. But no one at the client sent it. How can I determine the sender (I am not going to download a collection of files from an unknown source).

Hey Jonathan Wexler, thanks for letting us know about this.
Was this an email invitation to a shared folder or was this folder sent to you through a shared link?
If it was an invitation, have you added the folder to your account yet?
Let me know and we'll go from there.
shared link (that is showed up in the "Shared" tab)

So, just to confirm (as a shared link is different from a shared folder invite), you see the folder here, with the two people icon on it and an option to add it to your Dropbox, correct?
In any case, if no one from your client's side shared this folder with you, I wouldn't recommend adding it to your account.
Here's what you can do, if someone you don't recognize, shares a file or folder with you.
