    Hello Mark,

    It is possible to see when data from my Dropbox was viewed/accessed via a device connected by a token?
    Or when my dropbox was viewed/accessed via a device that is connected by a token?

     

    Even if the token has been replaced in the meantime.

     

    Regards

    Thomas
