In the past couple weeks, I've received a Dropbox invitation to view a file from someone who is local. I contacted them an they told me not to open it as their account had been hacked. How easily can someone get into my Dropbox? I have changed my password but is there something else I should be doing to fully secure my account? Is this a big concern with Dropbox?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Its no bigger an issue that any other online account or service - somebody with good passwords that are not reused on other sites and also with things like virus scanners, malware scanners etc. installed.
You can also set up 2 factor authenticiation. https://help.dropbox.com/teams-admins/team-member/enable-two-step-verification
