You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
When you view an invoice for one of your payments, it opens up a new page.
If you happen to leave that page up when you leave the PC you were using, that page just remains... forever. This leaves your personal information exposed.
The page should time out and disappear when your browser session for the web site times out. There isn't even a "Close" Button on the page. Just a "Print receipt" Button.
I submitted this to Customer Support and they merely responded that this works as designed. If so, then I say it's a very flawed "design" and needs to be changed.

I hadn't noticed that the ENTIRE web site has no session timeout!!!

The website remains accessible until the browser (not just the tab) is closed. If you used the Remember Me option when signing in, it will remember you and remain signed in until you sign out of the site yourself, or clear cookies in your browser.
The first step in security is you. Just be mindful to not use the Remember Me option and close the browser when you finish, and your Dropbox account will never remain signed in. This is especially important if you're accessing your account on a shared computer, as even an automatic timeout wouldn't be enough to protect your account if you just walk away from the computer while still signed in.
