Of all things and companies in existence, I had never imagined Dropbox would betray me like that.
Tech companies are only as good as their financial health.
Loyalty is stupid.
In desperation, they will milk you.
This is true, in every way.
It only interacts with OpenAI when you use the feature and warns you about it ahead of time. None of your files were automatically sent over and if you don't want to use this feature they allow you to turn it off. This is in the article.
