Hi 5R, have you signed out of your Dropbox account each time you finish working on the site, or do you leave it logged in permanently?
Closing your browser entirely and rebooting doesn't end the session, as the cookie to login is still active. On my personal machine, my most recent activity shows my current session, and it was last signed in 5 months ago, meaning I never logged off the site since then.
Exactly, and I'm puzzled with that. If the most recent activity column lists e.g. the middle of the month how can the same session have started a week ago and remain active for a whole week? How can that be? The session was surely idle at some point in the meantime. And why isn't the date that session started not listed in that column then? That should have been the most recent activity at the time.
On the other hand there are other sessions from different browsers which don't show that time stretch, even though they have been handled in the same way.
I believe that the most current activity is only a rough estimate and cannot be reliably taken into account.
