Unknown Login to Dropbox from another country
Hi all, I've been using Dropbox for years. Yesterday I was cleaning up Dropbox connected devices I do not have anymore. In another screen I found a list of login to my account. I noticed that there were logins from another country I have never visited. I deleted all but I can remember that the PCs mentioned were really old ones I don't have anymore since 10 years or so.
Could it be there were 'hack' logins in the past? Of did my PC login to a server in de US? Any help (or reassurance) is much appreciated.

Being honest if you havent seen any dodgy dealings etc. then its probably that it was just routed through a US server at some point.
However, to be very sure look at https://help.dropbox.com/security/security-checkup.
Its also worth noting that there is no other info available on the log in that you can see on that page and once its removed it not recoverable etc
Hi Mark,
When I deleted the strange logins, they disappeared right away. Similar as the normal logins. After that I moved all my data from the Dropbox account and also deleted my account, just to be safe. But I may return to Dropbox because I like it. I did the security check and nothing strange came out of that. I guess it must have been a routing through a US server like you suggested. Happy with that explanation, Thank you.
