He barely touched on the obvious security concerns about exposing all your data to an AI system that could malfunction or be breached by hackers.

From what I understand, everything you upload to Dropbox is encrypted, and only you using Dropbox on your client device can read it (or if you share a link with someone). Even They cannot see the content of your files. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember reading that when I signed up, and is one of the biggest factors in my using them. And yes, he really should’ve reiterated this in the video.

However, this is totally new bot with arguably self-awareness will have access to your information with the most likely ability to make arbitrary decisions. Maybe I'm being a little paranoid but I will use these tools very carefully.

Box seems like a mature company taking care of security at the core by encrypting, isolating & placing security measures to avoid any leak of sensitive information by bad actors in the org.

Really? I've used the free version of Dropbox for years and have not had one problem with it.
