How safe is Dropbox? Can they access user information?
I was going to start using Dropbox, but before creating an account, I came across the Privacy & Security concerns section on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropbox.
And the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Dropbox expands on the information.
So, in 2024, how safe IS Dropbox?
Can Dropbox employees really access users' information & what about the claim that Dropbox has ownership of users' data?

A common misconception is that Dropbox has ownership of user data. In reality, users retain ownership of their files, but by using Dropbox, they grant the company permission to store and transmit those files as part of its service. While Dropbox doesn’t claim ownership, its terms do include clauses that allow sharing information as needed to comply with laws, manage services, or for protection against security risks.
