Access connected devices after password change

Dear all,

I have a question regarding the acess of my connected devices after I changed my password.

I changed my password a while ago.
Now I saw that I still had old connected devices to my Dropbox in my security settings.
For example a Windows computer.
These were devices or owners of the devices that I actually didn't want to give access to my files anymore. This was also the reason why I adjusted the password at that time. But I was not aware that these devices were still connected to my account.

Does the access of these connected devices remain even if I change the password ? As o could look at the files ?
Or does the access expire and you have to enter the new password before ?

Regards for your feedback

Hi @Plattfuss

Changing your password does not cause any devices to stop syncing to Dropbox - the Dropbox clients are sync'd via a token set up so changing password does not disconnect any. The only way to disconnect and stop syncing is via the page you found or on the device itself

Hello Mark,

thanks for your replay.

It is possible to see when data from my Dropbox was viewed/accessed via a device connected by a token?
Or when my dropbox was viewed/accessed via a device that is connected by a token?

Even if the token has been replaced in the meantime.

Hi @Plattfuss

The only information available is at https://www.dropbox.com/account/security towards the bottom in 'Devices', however, once they are disconnected its not possible to see anything else.
