Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Wojciech B, I hope you're doing well!
Just to make sure we're on the same page: would you want the device to be remotely wiped as described here?
I'm asking, because the Dropbox folder would remain on the device upon unlinking it, so I want to make sure that this is what you'd like.
Keep me posted!
Hi Megan,
I would like to clarify that my main goal is to ensure that the Dropbox application on a computer automatically logs out the current user after a specified time (e.g., at midnight). This way, on shared computers, the next person using the device would not have access to the previous user's files and data without manually logging out. I am not directly interested in remotely wiping the device or deleting the Dropbox folder because, even if the folder remains, once the user is logged out, the files left in the folder will not be visible. My primary concern is to ensure that each user must log in to their own account to access Dropbox.
However, if there is a possibility to additionally secure the local Dropbox folder after automatic logout, that would be an added advantage. The main feature I am proposing is the ability to schedule an automatic logout of the Dropbox application on a computer at a specified time.
Best regards,
Wojciech B
