Yes it was a nicely worded email but without a file-level log of what was accessed and when it's hard to know if you need to worry about this or not.

- veidr 15y agoThey really should have referenced in the email, but Dropbox does already have a file-level timestamped activity log that you can access for your account anytime: https://www.dropbox.com/events https://www.dropbox.com/events EDIT: Oops, my bad: this log only tracks add, edit, move, delete. It doesn't show what files have been viewed/downloaded. Sorry for the noise.
- jasongullickson 15y agoTrue however this doesn't appear to track "reads" (unless I'm overlooking something?).
- sorbus 15y agoNote that the email mentions that some users (well, at least the user who disclosed the email) did not have any of their files accessed: "our records do not indicate that any files were viewed or downloaded." Presumably, they're doing something different for users who did have their files accessed, or at least if one of those users specifically requested that information they would disclose it. If you're saying that Dropbox should include an access log for their web interface, then I fully agree (even if it's buried in the interface, with a giant "experimental" warning, it would still be useful).
