Automatically sign out of Dropbox on the site after a specific amount of time

At the moment, if I hang about or leave, Dropbox seems to keep me signed in, which is, for me, an unnecessary security risk. Surely a lot of people would dislike this, if they thought about it?

There should be an option in Settings to log me off if I am inactive for a set length of time, or if I leave.

Could you please look at this?

Regards,

    Uncheck the Remember Me option when signing in, and you'll be signed out as soon as you close the browser window.
