How to Check is Anyone using your Dropbox account
1. Check recent activity around your Dropbox account:
Dropbox has the events feature, from here you can check all the recent activity. You can see this option from this link dropbox.com/events. Here you can check all the things you done with your Dropbox account like Upload, download files and more. If you find any suspicious activity here like someone removed or added any files to your Dropbox storage without your knowledge. That means your account is compromised or using by someone without your permission.
2. Check out the Device linked with your Account:-
From the dropbox security tab dropbox.com/account#security you can view which computers, phones, and tablets that have access to your Dropbox. If you find any other device which you are not using to Login your Dropbox account, it means that some one hacked your dropbox account and using it from that device. Your next step is to unlink that device from the list to secure your dropbox account.
These lists also allow you to view the devices and browsers currently using your Dropbox account and ensure no one else has access.
