Hi there @tal3, thanks for reaching out!

It does seem a little suspicious, from what you mentioned, it looks like they have put their account's name as "New Document Pending Your Approval".

If you check where the email was sent from, is it an official Dropbox domain?

Either way, I would suggest checking out this article for some more info on this.

Let me know if this helps!

thank you daphne, 

good interpretation that dropbox showed the name that was the "veiled name" which suggests a bad sender. the article was good and relevant so i like the response and in slang kudos.

Glad to hear that helped @tal3!

If you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out so feel free to just give me a nudge here. 

Hope you have a great week ahead!
