User auto linking to an account if dropbox had been previously installed

[Lee79]

We have a master image that is deployed in a VMware infrastructure. We have found an issue that one of staff had signed into a dropbox account on that master image and then uninstalled it and not unlinked it. 

So when we come to install dropbox on a different machine, it installed and then automatically linked to that account. I now need to check all the other servers and users but not sure where to start. We have tried revoking and changing the password but it still does it. 

Any advice Please?

I think the only way to quickly do this is to totally delete the account. That way it cannot log in to anything.

I thought that might be the case, Thank you for your reply

Hi Lee,

I think the problem is worse than that. 

I have a master image I am sure nobody logged in. Now somebody logged in and it's being logged in on every computer (Computers are not on the domain and independent from each other.

My guess : I think when dropbox client installs, it create a unique key for that computer somehow and if that key query dropbox, it automatically logs the client.

Did you manage to fix this issue on your side?
