Gah. That is shitty. I deleted dropbox when Condoleezza Rice joined the board back in 2014ish.

I've quit Dropbox when they capped the free account to (I think) 3 devices only. I'm now using Mega.nz which has end-to-end encryption and works well. I actually have a paid account with them to backup photos from my phones. My local cloud directory is still named Dropbox.

It's not fake, it's using a standard Apple-provided API. They are not stealing your password.

As is explained in the link you provided.

That looks like it's from 2016 -- is this still the case? (I'm not a Dropbox user, but would like to know)

Wow i didnt know this! Thanks for the heads up.
