You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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?

Thanks, 2 points:
FIRST:
I. I don't want all the "Automatics". I mainly back up files I want to keep to my External Hard Drive, many of my files are temporary and I do not want to back them up. I am not a business and "Traceability" is of no interest to me.
2. I would be happier to avoid the App and do my limited back-up work via your website, if that is possible????
3. Within my free Dropbox Basic I also want to see what Dropbox Passwords does, I might or might not want to use it. Passwords are not megabyte-hungry and I do all my passwords at the moment on a 32GB Flash Drive, manually, and there are loads of unused space
4. I guess I can do Dropbox Passwords on your website, too????
SECOND:
1. My first question here was about "Automatic Log-Off if I leave". This seems to me to be an obvious option. Why would I want to leave my Dropbox contents open to the world?
2. I don't have Bank Apps either, I go to the Banks' websites. If I hang around, they log me off. If I leave, they log me off. I would like to see this as an option in Dropbox. But when I asked the question, eyebrows were raised, as if it were a stupid idea? Is it, really.
Thanks,
Mike
I have got an email telling me to "Mark as Solution" but no, there are questions unanswered, especially in my last message.
I have used the "Link" to pass my idea, as a useful option, to be considered. I don't know whether I am supposed to get an answer, or whether anything is likely to happen.
I asked about Dropbox Passwords, but I have since read some negative reviews which basically said that Passwords was launched too early, before being tidied up, etc. and that the writers had gone back to other similar programs.
What do users think of it now, is Passwords nicely usable yet? Are teething troubles worked out, or do they just sit there?
