How do I log out of my Dropbox desktop app?
How do you log out/off? I have an icon on my desktop but anyone can click it & get into my Dropbox.
- 8 years agoYou cant log out without unlinking Dropbox completely. If you want to do that you'll need to remember to also delete all of the Dropbox data off your computer because that is a folder on your machine like every single other one (it isnt special).
You are better off securing the user account so that only you can log on to it and only you can get the files (same as 'My Documents' etc.)
