The popular file cloud sharing service is in a bit of hot water after an official complaint was filed at the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) over concerns of Dropbox actually misleading the public regarding the actual level of security offered versus what they claim to offer.
For months, Dropbox users were waiting, and finally, they can download a beta of the desktop app that operates natively on Apple’s Arm-based processors. Users
However, there's a catch: the app is invite-only for now. While the general public can download and install it onto their devices, no one can use it without being granted access (presumably a beta key of some kind).
The good news is that folks who had more than three devices attached to their account before March 2019 will be spared from the three-device limit.
Well I guess it's time to get those images off my Dropbox...
I'm glad I only use Dropbox to backup my game saves.
why would u ever put anything of high importance on a cloud network in the first place. id never trust any of it. but the fact that some people have all out access to users data is kind of creepy.
i dont really understand the complaint?
it clearly says in their terms and conditions that SOME employees can access the files IF LEGALLY REQUIRED TO? and honestly, youd expect that - you cant have super secret files stored on someone elses server that cannot be viewed by anyone apart from the owner, that just makes no sense. your personal emails/phone calls/text messages can be viewed by your telco/ISP/etc if they are asked to by a higher power, this is no different.
the only thing that could be of concern is the unsecure transmitting from a mobile device.
i only use dropbox to store funny pictures/gifs, nothing else. why? because if i lost them it wouldnt matter, and if someone DID get access to it the only thing that would happen is theyd have a laugh. nothing personal, nothing sensitive, nothing to worry about.
