When collaborating with coworkers, sometimes you may sign in to Workplace from a shared device such as a conference room computer. To protect your data, it is important to sign out and remove any synced files when you're done.
You will see a message asking you how you would like to sign out:
-
- Default: Keep syncing Workplace files and settings (Recommended to prevent data loss, or if you use this computer frequently and want quick access to your recently synced files.)
- Don't keep Workplace files and settings. (Recommended to prevent your files from using up hard disk space on a shared computer).
NOTE: As an additional security precaution, your Company Manager may configure Workplace to automatically log users out after a certain amount of idle time.
