Comment on Meet The New Dropbox Desktop Appparent

Comments

I just installed it on a new iMac today and gave it Accessibility access. Why should I not have?

You just gave them the ability to control other apps, ch age the ui if other apps, and do whatever you could with keyboard and mouse. Personally I don’t trust a third part with that kind of insecure unconstrained capability.

Dropbox used to surreptitiously stick itself on that list without asking, but Apple forced them to request explicitly. I think that was underhanded of DB and I don’t trust them.
