I'm not a technical person, but I found these connections, Dropbox and Bitly weird, since I don't use any of that.

Can anyone clarify if these are normal connections or is there something unusual?

Seems suss. Can you find that app installed on your system and verify if it is a legit system app?

I don't use any of these services and the app I use to check network traffic, PCAPdroid, reports that it is "com.android.mtp", the one in the screenshot. Seems legit to me.

"com.android.mtp", I think so!
