That Mactech article (which mentions the use of a drop box, not Dropbox) is from 2004. You have a folder called Drop Box in your home > Public folder, for other users to drop stuff into, nothing to do with the Dropbox service.
Dropbox was launched in 2007.

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 ;)

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