Log out of all sessions

Hi, I believe I was compromised yesterday on my dropbox.  I accidently opened a pdf from an unknown email.  I was then asked to sign in to my dropbox and did so.  Immediately after this I changed my passords and logged off all my devices accept for my pc.  I later logged back on using my new password. I just noticed this morning in dropbox security that there is still a session logged on to my drop box that is not familar to me (this session shows that it was first logged on to my dropbox on the same time as I had the episode yesterday). There doesnt seem to be a cross to turn this session off, the browser is chrome on windows, and most recent activity is showing as 'current session'. How do I find out the current user of this session and how to I turn this off or turn off all my sessions?

  • If you don't see the X to close the session, then it's the session that you're currently using. Hover your cursor over the i and it will show you the IP address for that session. It's likely the IP address of your modem/router, etc.

      That sounds easy. Where is the place to put the x?
