It's also completely reasonable for laymen to assume that the government can gain access to their Dropbox files. I don't recall Dropbox ever claiming anywhere that they would be technologically incapable of complying with a subpoena.
- kragen 16y agoWhen they said, "Dropbox employees aren't able to access user files", they were saying they were incapable of complying with a subpoena.
- fluidcruft 16y agoPerhaps. I don't think it's appropriate to edit out the context of that statement. What was actually said was "Dropbox employees aren’t able to access user files, and when troubleshooting an account they only have access to file metadata (filenames, file sizes, etc., not the file contents)". I don't think that statement as a whole necessarily responds to their capabilities to answer a subpoena. I don't think the lay public would conflate the two contexts.
