    Hey adrianxw, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that since this email came from an official Dropbox domain, it's possible that the email was sent out in error, since this is usually an email sent out when you first create a Dropbox account.

     

    Feel free to ignore the email and let us know if you receive any similar emails in the future.

How many times do you do this in error? I just got it this morning, and I'm afraid that someone abusing the system is able to gain access to my dropbox if I clicked the "Continue" in that email. Or is it possible they create a new dropbox account with also my email address as a sort of identity theft?
