Access to a file after logging out

Hi, I have access to the PDF file that was created from a Word file - after logging out of the account, through the browser history.   This looks like an error. Am I right?

    Hi again, rwoj! From what you’ve mentioned so far, and especially since this is happening with Microsoft files, I believe that the issue lies in what’s mentioned here ("When you create/open a new file through Office Online, a link to this file is automatically saved to Dropbox for easy access”).

     

    In that case, I’m afraid it’s not possible to prevent those shared links from being automatically generated, but you can always disable them from your Shared tab, like you’ve done already.

     

    If you wish though, I can pass any feedback you have on this to our development team for you.
