I don't think he's talking about only this one issue. Dropbox had an issue with something of this sort recently [0]. They secretly gave their Mac application root privileges. They may have crossed the line for him here. I should say that I'm not speaking for him but I can see how something like this could have been the last straw for someone.
I personally think that the way a company treats it customers is a good display of how good it's culture is. It's not a good sign that they did this.

- stuaxo 10y agoIs this a different issue, or just a different part of the same thing ?
- ogezi 10y agoI hazard the latter since they have had a series of problems except the one here. There was also a time that when you uploaded to Dropbox a file that was already on its servers, instead of storing the new file they stored a reference to the old one (that they already had) as per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2478567 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2478567
