Even if this isn't as nefarious as the title suggests, it's still an excellent reason to drop dropbox. Have you tried owncloud? That's what I use and it's perfect for escaping stuff like this as well as dropbox's new criminal terms of service. Just in case there's anyone who doesn't know, dropbox recently changed its terms of service to circumvent consumer protection laws by requiring its users to forego common rights under the law, a common tactic traitors are using these days (Microsoft also did that on Xbox live for example). So please take the opportunity to learn about owncloud and ditch dropbox as soon as possible.
