Unknown computer on my Dropbox devices list

Can you find out where a computer that is syncing with your Dropbox is located? There is an unknown computer in my sync list. I don't want to delete it until I make sure I can't identify it. I am concerned it is a previous employee.

The security page already shows you a location, though it's only the city that's registered to the IP address owner (the ISP, not the end user). It gets you close, but it's not accurate at all. Some of my legitimate devices list a city four states away, but that's because one of my ISPs is headquartered there. Other than that, the only data you can get is the IP address, by clicking the i symbol.
