Access to a file after logging out
Hi,
I have access to the PDF file that was created from a Word file - after logging out of the account, through the browser history.
This looks like an error. Am I right?
Hi again, rwoj! From what youâve mentioned so far, and especially since this is happening with Microsoft files, I believe that the issue lies in whatâs mentioned here ("When you create/open a new file through Office Online, a link to this file is automatically saved to Dropbox for easy accessâ).
In that case, Iâm afraid itâs not possible to prevent those shared links from being automatically generated, but you can always disable them from your Shared tab, like youâve done already.
If you wish though, I can pass any feedback you have on this to our development team for you.

You need to provide more information about how you're accessing the file. Where is the file stored? Is this a file in your account or is it from a link that was shared with you from someone else? How are you accessing it; from the Dropbox folder in your computer or the Dropbox website?
Hi, thank you for your reply.
It was a file in my Dropbox (Iâm the owner) I accessed through the Dropbox website.
