Can I set Dropbox to "sign me out when I leave" the website?
At the moment, if I leave, it seems to keep me signed in, which is, for me, an unnecessary security risk. So can I set it to sign me out automatically when I leave?

Super User IIso why can this not be a setting for automatic sign-out in Dropbox?
You can suggest it via this link. However, it isn't a default or editable setting.
You can also cancel and sign out of sessions via your Account page.
Thanks, yes, from my Windows 11 Home laptop, I can sign out of the Dropbox Website manually, but I understand your comment that I cannot set it to sign out automatically.
Are there advantages in getting the Dropbox App on Windows 11 Home? I think I went round this particular block a few years ago, but I never went for the automatic-back-up for-everything story. Right now my pics back up to Google Photos, Free, and major documents go to my external hard drive.
I am here on the Dropbox Website, Basic 2 GB, to look at the Dropbox Passwords as a possibility for me, together with an assorted collection of Notepad Notes, very tiny files, so 2 GB is quite a lot of space for these purposes.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the clarification, mike160304.
The Dropbox desktop app is actually our preferred method of uploading files and it doesn't have any size limits etc.
You don't need to back your desktop files up, you can simply sync the files you need as you already do.
You can see more info about it here.
I hope this helps!
