Doesn't Dropbox already do this? IIRC they let you store anything, but block sharing a file if its hash is found in some blacklist.

- rubayeet 9y agoYep.
- DBThrowaway1492 9y agoDropbox scans user uploaded content pretty aggressively, well beyond what is legally required. It won't always do this in a visible way, either. I know child abuse images will get you silently reported to LEO (as well as anyone who views the link), but I'm not sure about copyrighted content. Personally, I would refrain from storing any pirated songs or movies on Dropbox, since I think they'd be amenable to bulk snitching to large copyright holders.
