&lt;P&gt;It's important to know that changing your Dropbox password doesn't prevent access for a device that's already linked to the account. It just prevents people from signing in on the website and linking new devices. If a device is already linked, the password is no longer needed for that device.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Review the linked devices and active sessions on your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/account/security" target="_blank"&gt;Security page&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/security/device-list-remote-sign-out" target="_blank"&gt;Remove any device&lt;/A&gt; or session that you don't recognize. You can also review your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/events" target="_blank"&gt;Events page&lt;/A&gt; and use the &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-older-versions" target="_blank"&gt;version history&lt;/A&gt; of a &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-deleted-files-folders" target="_blank"&gt;restored file&lt;/A&gt; to see what device an action took place on.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Files were deleted from our account. Were we hacked?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;BR /&gt;Last Thursday at 7:25 pm precisely, several dozen files were deleted from our dropbox, supposedly by a guest colleague, who of course didn't do it.&lt;BR /&gt;On Friday night, more files were moved into our dropbox at around 3 a.m., a time when none of our team was working. But we had already changed the password.&lt;BR /&gt;We were able to restore the deleted files, but how can we prevent this from happening again?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;It's important to know that changing your Dropbox password doesn't prevent access for a device that's already linked to the account. It just prevents people from signing in on the website and linking new devices. If a device is already linked, the password is no longer needed for that device.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Review the linked devices and active sessions on your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/account/security" target="_blank"&gt;Security page&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/security/device-list-remote-sign-out" target="_blank"&gt;Remove any device&lt;/A&gt; or session that you don't recognize. You can also review your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/events" target="_blank"&gt;Events page&lt;/A&gt; and use the &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-older-versions" target="_blank"&gt;version history&lt;/A&gt; of a &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-deleted-files-folders" target="_blank"&gt;restored file&lt;/A&gt; to see what device an action took place on.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
