Hi there
I found this massage in my notifications??
Tried to delete - but I can’t it just opened - I closed dropbox before it proceeded.
But it’s still there?
Is it a hack or?
Hi @Dane6, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
This appears to be a file shared to your Dropbox account directly, which can be access from here.
If you're not aware of who the owner is, or weren't expecting this file, it could potentially be spam or a phishing attempt.
You can remove your access to the file from the above link by clicking the ellipsis next to the file, so it no longer appears in that list.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Thx for your quick answer @Jay
This is not a file I've been expecting - but it's still in my notifications.
How can I be sure that I'm not already have been "infected". Like I said when I tried to remove the life it opened and placed a pdf in my folder, which I could "unshare" and then it "disappeared"
Picture of my notifications:
Once you remove the file from the shared page, it shouldn't be visible in the notifications afterwards. If you have downloaded the file, I'd recommend deleting it.
If it was opened, I'd also run an antivirus scan just to be safe.
