If you click the setting to 'off' you are making the assumption that your stated desire will be honored and that there won't be another move like that in the future. The better move would be to stop using Dropbox, that way you are really sure that your files won't be accessed by unauthorized parties.
I really don't get what drives companies like Dropbox to throw their carefully built up reputation under the bus like this.
If true: what does OpenAI pay dropbox for access to their customers' files? And what kind of guarantees are there that OpenAI stays within the lines, because all of these AI companies are looking for as much non-AI tainted data as they can get their grubby little fingers on for training purposes.
It's possible OpenAI doesn't get any money; and they just provide whatever "AI service" is being requested of them, and returns the results to Dropbox.
And, well, if OpenAI just happens to gain access to a trove of data by providing the service... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
meh, I agree, don't trust future Dropbox, but the way it's explained is this switch stops any team member from using the alpha OpenAI integration to search files you have in drop box And since that integration has to send OpenAI your data, this switch prevents it.
again, don't trust future drop box but the hidden switch here is willfully interacting with dropboxs' openAi integration.
