That is nice and all, but what interests me as far as transparency goes is:
- what is up with client's high CPU usage when there is disk activity outside Dropbox folder;
- actual technical reason for needing to install kernel extension on macOS (previous answers on HN were something like "we need to do things that Finder API does not allow").
- codezero 10y agoThis is pretty off topic – the transparency report is specific to legal requests for data. I don't see how it would be relevant to muddy the term 'transparency report' or to couple that report with explanations of features, no matter how opaque their implementation is.
- elmigranto 10y agoPreface says: One way we work to earn that trust is through our commitment to transparency about government requests for user information. I think explanations for these kinds of things would work significantly better for making users trust Dropbox more. No need to include those in report, but I'd rather see a page about reasons behind weird behaviors than a bunch of numbers (which might as well be random from my layman's POV).
- mynameisvlad 10y agoSure, and that'd be great feedback for them in general, but is pretty off topic when the topic of the thread is that thing that you just quoted.
