    Thats only something you can decide. The popup could have been malware from a bad website. 

     

    However the pop up, if genuine, should have let you log on and automatically configure Dropbox. If it didnt / it isnt installed my guess is its not genuine.

     

    The only way to check is to reformat everything back to system factory settings and see what happens/if Dropbox is installed.
