Possible Phishing email

I have had an email telling me I can add Dropbox to my desktop but the email looks very suspect.
It’s from

no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com

Is this legitimate as it looks very suspect!

    Hi Lisa , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    This is valid email as it comes from one of our official domains used for communication.

     

    As you received this email, it means that you do have an account with Dropbox under that email address.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    I want to add that I am not signed up to Dropbox with the email I have been communicated with. So I have no idea why this email would suddenly be sent to me out of the blue.
