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.

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.
