Is this strange email a scam, or from an official Dropbox domain?

I received an email containing this -is this legit or is it a clever scam?

I have looked at the link on docsend.com that takes me to a PDF download on [removed]. I have no idea what that is and so I will leave it as it looks unsafe. IPFS seems a bit strange. In addition it asks me to login to Microsoft which I do not understand.

Sounds like a clear phishing attempt to me.
