I suddenly got a file added in my Dropbox
The file "mzaf_4709424082541843586.plus.aac.ep.m4a.crdownload" suddently popped up in my Dropbox
Is it safe ?
What is it ?
Hi Henning-And, the extension crdownload is generally a temporary file created by Chrome when you're downloading any file from the internet (not just from Dropbox).
Since it was in your folder, it means you were downloading a file into the Dropbox folder directly.
Desktop-Geksnis is the name of a device connected to your account. If this isn't the name of your machine, have you signed into the Dropbox desktop app on any other computers? You can see your connected devices from here.

Hi Jay
Thank you for your very usefull answer.
I have now made the security check and disconnected some computer I might have used.
Nice to know it's a Google download temp-file.
I have deleted it myself.
You made my day - thank you !
