Thank you Grant for the thoughtful specific reply without over generalizing 
or resorting to extreme examples posted by others. I'm not one who is fond 
of having to fix what could have easily been prevented, and since I'm not in 
need of every bit of storage I can find, I think I'll pass on the 
opportunity.

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.
