Hey there issue_goggle, thanks for joining us here!
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, I'll try my best to assist you with this.
Firstly, can you just check that the email you received is from an official domain? When viewing the notification you mentioned in your email inbox, you can click the sender's name to see the exact email this was sent from. What do you see there?
Also, to connect a Dropbox account to your Google account, they need to be under the same email address. Can you try signing into Dropbox with your Google email address? You can request a password reset to access the account if you need to.
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there!
Regarding forat question - email sender is Google with @accounts.google.com domain
Ablout signing in into dropbox seems that no account for my google email registered but in google account in recent events I see 'Dropbox connected to your account' notification (from location far from me)
Yeah Dropbox support, in the end, was an absolute waste of time and an utter joke: we don't know, please contact Google to get the answers you seek...
Sure... Thank you!
:(

Thanks for the additional info issue_goggle!
I'm afraid in this case, since there isn't a Dropbox account under that email address, I would suggest contacting Google Support for some further assistance.
Without knowing the Dropbox account, we have limited info on what exactly occurred. Google should have access to more info on this event to be able to clarify the situation further.
That being said, I was able to find this thread here from Google Support on how you can disconnect Dropbox through your Google account in the meantime.
Please do keep me updated with what you find!
