Dropbox you need to be open and transparent about this. WHY is Dropbox accessing my iCloud????? 

 

This instantly sounds like a security issue for me and I want to turn it off, but I'm worried i will lose some functionality or more importantly lose files. Pretty sure I won't but I have some senstive information in my dropbox and I can't lose it, or have it leaked.

 

Please treat this issue as  serious priority. We need answers.

    Putzy , thanks for adding your voice to this. I can't understand why nobody from Dropbox has found the answer for this, or at least reported it here.

     

    Daphne could you PLEASE check on this for us? It's been another 4 weeks with no response. We need to know how Dropbox is related to iCloud and whether or not this is something we can remove/turn-off.
