You can't se the forrest for the trees.

Of course you can claim it's malware, but sometimes malware works FOR the user not against them this is an example of that.

If anything you should put your anger towards Apple who haven't done anything to osx platform for ages.

With regards to security I both understand it and take it very seriously but I have no interest in theoretical debates. In this specific case I have no issue with what Dropbox is doing. I have an issue that Apple haven't found a way to make these things possible without the exploit.

If you feel strongly about it, be my guest delete all your accounts. I see no reason not to trust Dropbox, but hey each to their own.
