In addition to what Mark said, I would recommend scanning your personal devices for malware/keyloggers and changing your passwords to help ensure that nobody has continued access to your Dropbox and/or email accounts.

If it uses your email simply request a password reset via www.dropbox.com/forgot and then log in. You can then close it at www.dropbox.com/account. All logs available are at www.dropbox.com/account/security. There are no other IP's etc.
