Hi WoofGrrrr, thanks for messaging the Community.

This will help others by voting on the same post.

      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.
