Dropbox changed their terms of service...
polycounter lvl 15
Hmmm just thought I would post this here for folks. The way I read it has pretty much forced to consider canceling my use of the service. They changed it recently in the last few days from what I can tell. What do you guys think? Here is an excerpt of the terms which can be found on their website.
"
