   Are you using Dropbox cloud storage? You do not want 3rd party AI technology partners to have access to your Dropbox files? Flip this switch, which is on by default. Go to web->account-> settings- 3rd party AI. Please turn it off. Please boost so everyone know how bad this move is … 😡

     @nixCraft Why do you even use Dropbox, so many alternatives today.

     @nixCraft Is this option present for the users within the EU too? I cannot find it there. I guess I should just wipe my account at this point, I haven't used it in literal years.

     What about encrypting the data before storing there?
     (Ok, I know. Too complicated for most Computer users.)

     @nixCraft @vifon Interesting — I'm going through my Dropbox settings over and over again and I can't find this option anywhere… (EU)

     @nixCraft the Internet needs a consent protocol and every company should stop assuming that one bit of consent implies consent for *everything*

     @nixCraft Appears to be off by default for me. Possibly related to geographic area?

     @nixCraft Thank you! Unfortunately, I can’t see this. Am I looking in the right place? This is https://www.dropbox.com/account/general (dropbox.com–Account–Settings). Guessing it’s buried somewhere from here?
