Is this shared link from Dropbox malicious or not?
Hello,
A foreign customer has contacted us with a request for our products. They sent me a Dropbox link, claiming that all the details regarding their inquiry are there. Unfortunately, the whole situation seems strange to me, even though it appears very credible.
Could you please check it?
They sent me this link:

Hey affoj, thanks for posting here today!
I removed the link from your post for security reasons.
Keep in mind that this isn't a Dropbox shared link. Our shared links should have this format: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/.
I'm not sure if they used a third-party app to maybe shorten the link, but if I'm being honest it doesn't look like it.
It's a great thing that you're cautious about this, and that you decided to contact us. You can maybe share these steps with your client, on how to create a shared link if they need to.
I hope this helps!
