Earlier today you may have received an email from Dropbox stating that your credit card is about to expire. Though the email did in fact come from Dropbox, it was sent to you in error. We recognize that you’re not a paid Dropbox user, and there haven’t been any changes to your account.

We apologize for any confusion we may have caused.

Sincerely, The Dropbox Team
