Hi Rich,

Thank you for your response.  From my iPhone I see the three computers listed, but not under security.  It’s under Manage devices.  Anyway, I can’t remove the IPad from the list by using the iPhone and I can’t do anything on Dropbox from the iPad.  Will simply removing the app from the IPad remove it from my Dropbox list?  Thank you.
