I received notification that someone accessed my Dropbox account

Hello,    I received an email indicating a new connection on my dropbox when I did not go there. How can I find out more ? I,am afraid that data could have been recovered without my knowledge...

    That's all you can do. As long as you changed your password and removed any unrecognized devices, then no one else should be able to access your account.

     

    Unfortunately, there's no way to know if they viewed or downloaded any files before you removed their access. The Events page will show you if anything was deleted, however.
