Data security when using Dropbox.

I am a bit worried on the issue of data security on Dropbox. I just started using it recently, and I wonder if it's also like some platforms that share user data with third-party websites. Because it's annoying how strange people will send emails and SMS to me of something I have no initial knowledge about.

    Hey Goshen Delroy, welcome to our Community!

    You can have a look at a couple of Help Center articles like that one. 

    Another helpful one would be this one. However, to jump right into this, would you mind clarifying more about the emails and SMS you're talking about?

    Are they coming from an official Dropbox domain, or not?

    Keep me posted!

      No, not from Dropbox, am just saying that sharing of user data to third parties leads to that. And thanks to the forum, I now know the stand of Dropbox concerning data security.
