RE: privacy concerns - was - Get an extra 1 GB of Dropbox storage by syncing it to Mailbox | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

2013-08-27 Thread E. Wayne Brumley

I don't totally agree with me either sometimes.
  I think you've got a sane approach to privacy and security.  
  It isn't really such a new thing to give up privacy to allow someone to
better provide one with a service such as gps navigation or book
recommendations.  Anyone who has ever applied for a job knows about giving
up privacy for a potential gain.   I don't think giving Dropbox information
about me is a threat to my security but I am aware that there is some risk
in doing so.  Using judgment about whom to trust with what and why is our
challenge these days.  I don't blame Joseph for having concerns about the
Dropbox / Mailbox issue although I considered it a minor  privacy issue and
not a security one.  To me, someone getting my email address is a possible
source of spam and annoyance but not a serious threat to my security.  I
hope I'm right because joining a list such as this one where all list
members can get my email address means some risk of annoyance but a risk
well taken because of the excellence of most of the posts.

Regards,
Wayne

Hi, coming in late on this, but yes I suppose you are right. Although I
don't fully agree with everything you say, you do bring up valid points. 
What I do to stay safe is make sure I don't use the same passwords for
multiple services. I also still use location services, but if an app doesn't
really need them, then i don't allow it. For example, I give access to
location services to my GPS navigation apps as they are useless without that
access, but I don't give it to my Music ID app which is used to identify the
song I'm listening to at a restaurant, mall, or girlfriend's house. it's
good to stay same smart, but it can also quickly turn into paranoia if not
careful.

I think I'll go re-read 1984 now. .

Once I added my account, I accidentally hit the Add account button  again, (I'm 
not sure if that's it's actual name, or not), but then I found a "Cancel" 
button, which somehow dropped me into the inbox. Anyway, flick right from the 
top of the screen for a while, and you'll come to an element called "Settings". 
It isn't a button or anything, but you can double-tap on it. After that, go to 
where it says "Dropbox;" you should be able to configure everything from there. 
One thing I will warn you about is that you might come to a weird screen if you 
left the and reopened it later. The screen has a lot of unrecognized elements, 
but you can get back to the screen that has the "Settings"element on it by 
hitting the button in the top left-hand corner of the screen, which is called 
"Lists."

I hope this helps you out.

Hi Sherry,

 

Might as well delete the app, it's very inaccessible. If you want to use
your gmail account it's just as easy to set it up as one of your accounts in
the regular mail app.

Hi,

I don’t think its a case of having something to hide, its a case of not always 
wanting to share.  Big difference in my opinion.  Its just a personal choice of 
how much of one’s life and habits they wish to share with the world.

Re: Get an extra 1 GB of Dropbox storage by syncing it to Mailbox | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

2013-08-23 Thread Sherrie

I did finally manage to get the free Dropbox space but I would like to try 
using this app.  I cannot get the Inbox to show up.  When it first started it 
said I had 300 messages which is about right for the seldom used account I 
linked it to.  Then I said to archive the unstarred messages.  Then I sent 3 
test messages. It says 3 new messages but I can’t get to them.
Any advice?

Once I added my account, I accidentally hit the Add account button  again, (I'm 
not sure if that's it's actual name, or not), but then I found a "Cancel" 
button, which somehow dropped me into the inbox. Anyway, flick right from the 
top of the screen for a while, and you'll come to an element called "Settings". 
It isn't a button or anything, but you can double-tap on it. After that, go to 
where it says "Dropbox;" you should be able to configure everything from there. 
One thing I will warn you about is that you might come to a weird screen if you 
left the and reopened it later. The screen has a lot of unrecognized elements, 
but you can get back to the screen that has the "Settings"element on it by 
hitting the button in the top left-hand corner of the screen, which is called 
"Lists."

I hope this helps you out.


With Regards,
Ari

Re: Get an extra 1 GB of Dropbox storage by syncing it to Mailbox | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

2013-08-22 Thread Grant Hardy

If you visit www.google.com/accounts and login with your Gmail
credentials, there is a security section where you can configure which
third-party apps and services are authorized to access your Google
account. Mailbox will be one of them, because when you set it up you
will have given it permission to access your Gmail account. Likewise
if you login to Dropbox.com, you can visit your app settings to unlink
Mailbox from your Dropbox account so it doesn't have permission to
access or save files to your Dropbox. If you've used other apps such
as AccessNote or the Dropvox recording app, they'll be listed there as
well. Let me know if you need some more specific directions.

Hi Joseph,

It's a perfectly valid question. Keep in mind though that the Mailbox
app is owned by Dropbox, so it's not like you're giving your
information to another company. Also, once you get the extra space, if
you decide you don't really want to keep the Mailbox app (and indeed,
it isn't that pleasant to use with VoiceOver) you can simply delete
the app from your phone then login to your Dropbox and Gmail accounts
and remove the permissions that you gave it.

Oh gosh! Just turn off location services altogether or specific apps or 
just do not use those apps at all!

Hi guys,

Aren't we giving away some privacy by installing this app in order to
receive another 1 gig of Dropbox space? In other words, this free space is
probably not so free. Where is our email address going to go? Is it possible
that we will inadvertently give spammers a live email address to be used
some time down the road when we have forgotten that we gave these people our
email address? Please keep in mind that this is a serious question to
ponder. I'm not just trying to stir stuff up, I'm actually concerned when it
comes to my privacy, so I'm hoping for some thoughtful feedback as this
concerns all of us who are cautious as to where our personal information is
going. (Smile).

I read this yesterday, got my 1GB and deleted the app. It's amazing how much 
free space you can get with these kinds of deals. I've been taking advantage of 
all of the deals I can find since I started using Dropbox in 2009, and now have 
25GB of free space.

After you connect Mailbox with your Dropbox account, you can delete
the Mailbox app, which is probably good since it appears to be
inaccessible anyway.
