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.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey rwoj, just to clarify, do you mean that you've never created/copied links to these files and when you simply open them on dropbox.com, links are automatically created for them?
And if so, how did you find the links?
Hey Hannah, thatâs exactly right â I have never manually created those links, theyâre automatically created when I open a Word file (through browser).
I check for links in the links list.
Judging by the number and dates of links to Word files, this has been happening for a long time.
