"We promise, we won't screw up with your Dropbox folder."

Should be

"We promise, we won't screw up your Dropbox folder."

But it'd be even better if you just left that out in my opinion. It creates doubt because you're stating something that is kind of expected from a service like this.

Thanks onedev!

I think the same, but some people here, doubted that - `what if it screws up my Dropbox`.

And we dont because we respect your users Privacy. But just to make them feel secure, I had to add that line.

But thanks, I guess people have to trust us if they use our service. I ve removed that from the Homepage.

I think the better solution would to be very explicit and clear about what your app does. Stating that it creates a "My Downloads" folder and just puts files into that folder, and nothing more, should be enough to assuage fears.

Thanks chrischen! That makes sense.

I have updated the message. To -

"We will create a folder in your Dropbox `My Downloads`, and all your downloaded files will land in it."
