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...

3 years agoSorry 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?

Hi. No, it's empty.

Just so we can check this, Lordarioch77, can you send us a screenshot of what you see when you try to open it?
You said that it says you need to request access to see it?
And you never received any emails from anyone sharing this file with you?
