    That's good news, since these are phishing sites that create fake sites to get login details. Just in case, it might still be a good security measure to change your password, if the email is somewhat similar to your own one.

Hi,

 

I tried to log in, but actually I used wrong e-mail address. So I didn't enter my dropbox e-mail or password there.

 

Edited later - I did change my dropbox password, just in case.

    Hi, actually it was my work e-mail (so totally different) but all passwords have now been reset 🙂

      Excellent news, I'd also recommend forwarding that email to abuse@dropbox.com for the team there to be aware of this site.
