Desktop/mobile client syncing after password change: security flaw?
Last week I've change my password though the website, at work. On my home computer I have installed the Desktop client. I have not changed a thing and it was syncing without problems.
The same hap...
techs2017 if somebody has your password then installing Dropbox is the least of your worries.
Super Users are not employees but the answer is the official one - this isnt a security flaw. Its by design.
When somebody adds Dropbox to their computer you receive an email telling you this has happened, unless you've disabled those security emails in the Account section.
Also, if they did do that then you can unlink the account via the same Account page. For Plus and Business users you can also request that a remote delete is done while unlinking clients.
Hi: Richard P.
I agree with Marcelo, and Harry K.6
so for example: if a thief stole my dropbox password, and before I even notice that, he/she might already install the sync app in his/her pc. now after I change my drobpox password, so the thief can still see the sync the files from his/her pc?
Richard P, if yo still don't think that is a security issue, then I will be shocked. are you in fact dropbox employee? or you just a super dropbox user like us? no offense, but I need email dorpbox support team for the security concern if you are not employee.
Thanks
