I have the same issue, Photos and videos att apearing in my Camera Upload directory that is not mine.
I have checked https://www.dropbox.com/account/security and all sessions and devices are known to me, its stated there that the sessions is from sweden as expected.
In the photos and videos that's not mine the kid holding the phone/camera and his family is clearly not from or in sweden.
Reading the event log https://www.dropbox.com/events these syncs started 2015-02-25 and is still ongoing and it's stated that it's me that has uploaded the files
This is messed up.
All the active sessions are from sweden known to me and all the connected devices are in my home, still a 10 year old kid somewere is uploading tons of sefies and videos of his family on my account.
I have the same question as Marissa, how do i stop this? and does he have access to all of my other files aswell?
I'm starting to question the security of dropbox...
I had a strong password, but I will now change it and hope these wierd selfie bombing will end.
