Private content accessed illegally/without consent

So I and a friend have had someone wrongfully access personal content that was uploaded to Dropbox. This was done without our consent or knowledge until they began to use it threateningly against us....

    Hi Jay,

    Thank you for this information. I checked and nothing is out of the ordinary. Makes me think that someone who had access to a personal device of mine or my friend must have used that to get to our content.

    Is there any way to see a list of login activity on my account?

    Thanks,

    Paul
