Claim 3 is false. You can jail them to specific directories.

  Dropbox supports two types of 3rd party apps each with different file permissions. 1) Sandbox, and 2) Full Access. If you jail by registering a "Sandbox App", you give up the ability to share/collaborate in a directory with other Dropbox users. To have a third party project that provides sharing you must abandon the "Sandbox" permissions and instead request "Full Access" - which means you get a token that give you access to the users entire dropbox directory. I have several email threads with the Dropbox team discussion this issue at length. Perhaps this has changed since I was neck deep in this issue but I don't see anything in their changelog to suggest that.
