I received notification that someone accessed my Dropbox account
Hello,
I received an email indicating a new connection on my dropbox when I did not go there.
How can I find out more ?
I,am afraid that data could have been recovered without my knowledge...

I changed my password yesterday and deleted devices and browser in the configuration.
That's all you can do. As long as you changed your password and removed any unrecognized devices, then no one else should be able to access your account.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know if they viewed or downloaded any files before you removed their access. The Events page will show you if anything was deleted, however.
thank you much for your answer,
no one at dropbox can tell me the location of the IP that connected for example ? This will let me know if I need to review my entire security system. If it is a connection in the hearth I would worry less.

IP location data is mostly useless. It won't be the actual location of the person using that IP address. It will be the address of the data center (or headquarters) of the company that owns the IP address. For instance, if I look up my current IP address, it shows a city on the opposite end of the state that I'm in, hours away from my actual location.
