My activities show someone else's activities

    Hi MRAQ, in order to look into this matter in more detail, as it contains account-specific information, it would be better to contact the support team directly.

Thanks for these screenshots, @MRAQ! If LK opens their Activity feed on the Dropbox app as well, and switches to the “You” tab, what do they see there? Does it also mention that they moved the exact same files that you see on your desktop activity?

Hi @Nancy,

Sorry for the delay in response.

LK for some reason cannot see his activities beyond yesterday. But this morning again My activities show that I have moved the same files. LK said that this morning he renamed a parent folder containing the folder that contains the files that Dropbox says that I have moved. Hope this is helpful.

    No worries, MRAQ. I’m also curious about one more thing; if your team admin goes to their Admin Console > Activity tab, what do they see on their end? 

     

    I’d like to gather as much info as possible to isolate the issue.

      Hi Nancy,

      Our admin just sent me my activity report for the last week, and there is no mention of the above activities in my report. All the listed activities look like something I have done.

       

      Also, he said we are using Dropbox Business, not Advanced which I said incorrectly earlier.
