strange files in activities

Hello, for some time now, in my Dropbox activities, there's a file named "bonus scommesse.jpg" that I didn't create. It is displayed occasionally, not by my doing, and it requires access to be opened...

Hi, thanx for your attention

I'm seeing this file in the activity (see 1st image below) and also in the "home" page (see 2nd image below), while the version history of the file is unavailable, the only option is "open", but request access.

Sorry to jump in here, Lordarioch77.

 

Do you see this file, if you navigate to your files in the "all files" page?

 

If not, could it be a file that you opened from a link that someone might have sent you?

    Hi

    no, If I navigate in "all files" page I can't see the file. I've not received that file from nobody, I've never opened it because request an access. I tried to get access permission to try to open it and see what is it,  but in vain, nobody answer.

      Hi Lordarioch77, could you check this page to see if it was a shared file?
