hi everyone,
i wonder if there is a way for me to find out if someone else has accessed my (free) dropbox account?
under personal account and security i see nothing unexpected. maybe a day and a half ago someone else may have accessed my account. i see nothing strange but maybe files were copied or looked up if someone was in?
i sincerely hope u can help me out ....
thanks a lot in advance,
Frank

Hi Jay,
thanks a lot for your insights!
just to make sure, i hope you don't mind...
if someone else has logged into my account say 3 days ago:
would i be able to see that at this moment in the 'personal account' 'security' tab?
(either via the website or via the app, the two sections in the overview)?
the history that i see is only 'today'.
(regardless of what the person did to files)
thanks again, really helpful!
kind regards, Frank

Hi Jay,
thanks again, really helps me a lot.
i usually use the dropbox app on my mac and do dropbox handling via the finder. i nowadays use the browser quite some times because of the issues at hand but that is unusual. i think it signs on automatically when i open the site because the dropbox app logs on on startup.
greetings, Frank
