Hi RCNET, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

It's possible that this was a shared file from Dropbox.

 

Another possibility is that this wasn't a genuine email. Could you attach a screenshot showing the email you received, while hiding any personal info, in order to determine this?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hello Jay,

Here are some images...

#1.  The opened email.
#2.  Clicking on the One Dive window to "get document"
#3. Ending up in DropBox with a "shaded" screen and a sign in to my Microsoft acount, I suppose my email.
    BUT...when my acutal microsoft email account is entered...I get an error message as you can see that can not find that account.
So... I went to another window and signed into my microsoft account and it works fine.

    Thanks for this info, RCNET.

     

    Did you get a chance to reach out to this person, to see if they did share that file with you?
