random person's photos/videos in my dropbox!

random person's photos/videos in my dropbox!

I have no idea why this is happening, but there must be another user synced to my dropbox because there are photo and movie uploads of someone I do not know. I try to delete them but they keep reappearing and new ones are added, and now my dropbox is almost full but it's full of this random person's stuff! How do I stop this?!

The past week, a bunch of random pictures kept getting posted into my dropbox.  Even in my private un-shared folders.  The weird thing is that it says it was uploaded by a user that I have a different shared folder with, but he swears he doesn't even know where the images came from.  We deleted the images today and opened my dropbox a few minutes later to see the picture was uploaded 3 more times, all at times where i wasnt on my dropbox and neither was the person who i have a seperate shared folder with.  There seems to he some sort of security failure or bug...
