Files accessible from browser history

I have noticed that anytime I log off and go to the browser history I can still view any files that I had opened within dropbox.

I can preview it without being asked to log in first. I’ll send you a screenshot when I get to a desktop/laptop.

Is there any chance you’re actually clicking on a shared link from your browser history? If yes, then it’d explain why you can see the content without being signed in. 

 

A screenshot would be greatly appreciated, though. Thanks!
