Hi.

I have a computer that has Box Sync on it. I want to revoke its Box.com authentication from the Box.com website.

How do I do this? It's obvious and easy with Dropbox, but I didn't find it in Box.com when I checked today.

Common use case for this: Someone no longer controls that computer.

Note: Changing your password is not a good option. I'm talking about remote revocation of an authentication for a specific computer.

Hi there,

Welcome to the Box Community!

At the moment we don't currently offer the feature you asked about. Our Product team is constantly looking for ways to improve Box based on user feedback, so I recommend for you to post your ideas here in Pulse. Pulse can be found at:

Dear Aira,

How is it possible that Box does not have that feature? Dropbox has it. Gmail has it. It is table stakes for a service that can allow access to users' data from different computers. And Box has a lot of corporate customers.

Is it already in the near term development plan?
