I found a shared folder on my mobile app that's not mine. Is my Dropbox account secure?
When I opened my Dropbox folder on my android phone (I only have the default folder on my app-a simple new installation) I saw a folder called Scuba. It wasn't mine. Dropbox indicated it was shared...
Hi Mark,

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your suggestion. I found the Events list, which was quite short.
I only set up Dropbox in mid-May on my android phone and Windows PC. I wanted to move files between them. I’ve used it to capture the printable output file from a phone app so I can easily access it on my computer. That worked fine. I also dragged a couple jpg photo files into it from my phone and they came through onto my PC okay.
Other than those two activities, the only other events are listed below. Does anything look suspicious to you? I don’t recall ever joining “Scuba” explicitly. I just noticed it in my Dropbox. When I saw it, I clicked on it, which was probably the join action (I wasn’t asked), and that’s where I saw the two other people in the share. I then removed my access somehow and then deleted the whole folder. And removed the app from my phone.
Any ideas?
Dave
