Anyone know if this is a legitimate email address used by Dropbox?

Is it possible this domain could have been used in the past?
Its certainly not one I've ever heard of being used by Dropbox. That list from @Rich also includes historic ones, so, my guess is its a scam.
Also, given that its registered by an individual in the UK and not Dropbox its almost certainly not legit.

That domain is not one of the official Dropbox domains.

Is the .net the part that is a UK registrant?
The registrant is listed as an organization called Identity Protection Service. That's likely not the real name of any particular company and is instead just the name used for a domain privacy service, and in this case, one that's registered in the UK. That doesn't mean the real owner of the domain is in the UK. They could be anywhere.
Most TLDs (top level domains, such as .com, .net, .cc, etc.) can be registered by anyone regardless of location (with some exceptions). The .net TLD is one that can be registered by anyone, anywhere.
