Re:Dropbox users' email addresses targeted by spam? by floatingatoll on Tuesday July 17, 2012 @12:29PM (#4256442)
Offhand, it could be leaked from your hard drive or any backup thereof, from email stored on any of your desktop or mobile devices, or from your email provider's mail stores or mail logs. There's probably other ways too.

EDIT: Apps. Any app you've ever authorized to use your Dropbox account could have leaked the email address - for instance, via plaintext logs, or malicious behavior, or well-intended but stupid behavior - by writing the email address in plaintext to disk, or uploading it to a remote server and then losing control of it there.
