This is the first time I've heard someone on HN actually ask for more security theatre. Sure, Dropbox could spend seven figures to get a ISOxxxx whatever consultancy to draw up a 125 page document describing their internal checks, do the obligatory all-hands yearly mandatory training where you have to get 10/10 questions right and question 1 is "A user has uploaded naked pictures of themselves to their account. True or false: it is permissible to download these and take them home with you.", etc etc.

And they'd be exactly where we are today:

1) Yes, we could look at your data any time we want to. This is an inevitable consequence of letting you look at your data any time you want to.

2) We promise not to abuse our power #1.

3) If you don't trust us on #2, you should not do business with us.

Except they'd be out seven figures.
