Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

We set up our new Color Laserjet Pro MFP M479fdw today, and I was excited to see that it has apps for Dropbox and Google Drive. Before I plug the keys to my kingdom into it, however, what can anyone (especially someone at HP) tell me about safeguards to protect that information on the printer. Are my Dropbox username & password stored in reversible encryption, or does it negotiate some kind of token that is useless anywhere but my printer? I tried to download the user manual from the support website, but the link is broken.

Thanks for the link to the user manual. I didn't notice that the support page has TWO links to the user manual and managed to click the one that was wrong. Now, if someone from HP could answer my security question....
