Hi

I am in the process of starting my dissertation and I am concentrating on cloud forensics. However, I can't seem to find any logs relating to Dropbox. Does anyone know if Windows creates any logs for Dropbox (e.g, time of access)?

I managed to go into the Dropbox folder on my local but the files are stored in .dbx. Any idea how to open these files?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jaclaz. Just so you know my topic of research is CLOUD FORENSIC and Dropbox is only a small part of that. So rest assured I'm not reinventing the wheel. 8)

No problems whatsoever ) in reinventing the wheel (possibly a rounder one) wink , the advice was only to document yourself on currently used wheels and their manufacturing process.
