- smt88 11y agoSharing information under pressure from the government is different from asking for leadership from a war criminal and co-architect of an incredibly shady administration. In the first case, it's something that companies can fight back against (and some have) as long as their hands aren't tied by unconstitutional, secret pressure. In the second case, it's the company actively going out to ask for that kind of influence on their organization. And, furthermore, Dropbox's reason to exist is to keep your privacy. It's not like a gaming site or something. Leaking your Dropbox information would almost always compromise your privacy/safety.
