opt your files out

your files?

your files? LOL

Don't forget, Dropbox belongs to Microsoft. The harddisks where "your" files are stored belong to Microsoft.

Source? I never heard about a MS acquisition or majority stock buy.

Unless you have a source this is straight up disinformation. As far as I'm aware and as far as I can tell, Dropbox is an independent company.

you might be confusing one drive with Dropbox, I don't think DB is MS owned
