  First time using drop box. If I drag/drop work for a client from my desktop do they have access to ALL of the files on my desktop?

  Ugh... did a stupid thing.

  how are they accessing the files? are you sending them a download link ("copy public link")?

  • just dragged and dropped from my computer. no linking involved.– ohhhhhsnap1/3

    and they have access to the dropbox by signing in?– CanHasQBN2/3

    Yes, they do.– ohhhhhsnap3/3

  By dragging from desktop, you have likely given them read/write privileges to your machine.

  I think the thing that made me a little paranoid was that Photoshop's Cue had kicked in (I never use it) and said that changes were made to a file that I was working on... and 1 file name had been changed.

  dudes. when you drop a file into the dropbox folder it will be uploaded to db. nobody has access to your machine.

  • doesn't work like that– fadein11

  I thought this was going to be a thread about either 1. how Dropbox is peeking at your files even though they initially claimed everything was encrypted, or 2. how the US gov might pull Dropbox offline as a grossly miscalculated anti-piracy measure (a la MegaUpload) causing everyone to lose all of their data, or even 3. how Dropbox should have said yes when Apple offered to buy them because now Google's GDrive and Apple's iCloud are going to swoop in and eat its lunch.

  But yea, delete System32 just to be sure ;)

  • thanks stewdio. awesome.– ohhhhhsnap
