Hi Hannah,
My apologies for taking so long to respond. We have been away. I didn't have most files set to "online only" when I first asked my question. I have all of my files set to "online only" now though. I'll scour the task manager as you suggested. I think the fact that the pop up sometimes says the files are downloaded and being opened has probably left me feeling very unsure of what is going on, as under the activity tab, they are not listed.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know if I uncover any third-party apps in the task manager.

3 years agoHi Racquels, could you try signing out of the app, and then back in?
I can definitely see where you're coming from, but if you took all the necessary measures, such as changing the password etc. you should be covered. Sometimes it could be a simple re-indexing of the files, or as Hannah mentioned a third-party app accessing these files.
In any case, keep an eye on it, and let us know how this goes!
