Not actually. The setting is essentially "allow OpenAI to look at your files (we promise they won't use them for anything, pinky swear)"
It's only the part in parenthesis that disturbs people. If I told you that you can now search your drop box via open AI's integration, you wouldn't really care.
Oh, the other caveat is that the default position of the switch that allows the integration is on in America and off in Europe, likely because, you know, American's dont seem to give a shit how nakedly anti-privacy their tech companys _can potentially be_.

I would. I have had lawyers and real estate agents in the past who use Dropbox for sensitive and ID verification documents. I don't want that data going anywhere it wasn't explicitly sent to.
I can understand why some users might not care, but you can't generalize your own opinions/needs/requirements on the matter to everyone. That's the whole reason settings exist.
I'm referring entirely to the kerfuffle. your inability to control your Dropbox isn't exactly dropboxs' responsibility.
that's not an opinion. this entire switch thing is basically a standard 3rd party API. if you don't like the optin nature, the trouble is between you and your government.
>It's only the part in parenthesis that disturbs people. If I told you that you can now search your drop box via open AI's integration, you wouldn't really care.
I wouldn't be into this at all. Dropbox serves as one form of backing up my files and a shared environment for multiple computers. I don't want it to do anything proactive beyond that.
> If I told you that you can now search your drop box via open AI's integration, you wouldn't really care.
I definitely would. I don’t trust OpenAI with any kind of even remotely personal information and don’t want them anywhere near my files. Not that I’m surprised Dropbox would do such a thing.
> What information is shared with third-party partners?
> Your files within Dropbox are sent to a third-party AI only when you chose to interact with AI powered features. For example, when you ask a question about a file.
