How to I erase the different gmail login users history on the DB app?

So here’s the scenario.

I shared my phone with some family members and 3 of them logged onto DP from the app using the gmail option.
They logged out but now when I want to log on I see their emails in the login history. I tried everything to erase this.
I erased the app, I unlinked the emails.
I just want my email to show when I click “login with gmail”

    Hey there Snazy30  - sorry to hear about this.

    Could you try clearing your app's cache and log out and in again?

    A. On iOS:
    To clear your cache, please follow the steps listed below:
    1. Navigate to the “Personal” tab
    2. Tap the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
    3. Select “Clear Cache”

    Please note: If you do not see the gear icon on this main page, first click on the icon on the bottom right of the app that says “Account”, “Personal” or your Dropbox Business name. You should see the gear icon on this account page.

    B. On Android:
    1. Tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
    2. Select "Settings"
    3. Select “Clear Cache”

    Once this is done then please ensure you log out of the Dropbox application, then restart your device and log back in again.

    If you're still get the same results, please let me know and we'll take it from there. Thank you.

    Nope. The emails still show up in the history. And to make it worse I can log on without even being asked a password.

    I cleared the cache. Logged out. Restarted the phone. And all the previous emails are still there. And it even allows me to login without being asked a password. Not good for security.

    Uninstall and reinstall the app. That will clear everything from it. It also fully clears the cache, which the app itself is not great at doing itself.

    That's what I thought so too Rich  but on second thought as the Google Sign In uses a web session to log you into your account I guess clearing the browser's cache would be preferable.
