Dropbox nasty OS X behaviour, gain complete computer control
This type of behaviour shouldn't be allowed by apple, they just don't care. I am really more and more convinced that big companies don't really care about our privacy and security. This is a serious issue, that has been documented for a while...- dollystereo
