Can someone tell me if this is true for Dropbox? I pay for Dropbox and also many family and friends pay for Dropbox. I know several businesses that use Dropbox as a file server. Also I am in Australia.

If Dropbox starts to let a foreign government (In this case the USA) to watch our files, I must cancel all accounts and will advise all my friends and family to shut down all Dropbox accounts immediately.

Can someone comment as to the truth of this article? If true that means we can never trust a US company again. Please someone tell me this is scaremongering and FUD and has no substance.




This is, as far as I know, already in the Dropbox T&C's (article here http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-04-18/tech/30033770...) and their T&C's here https://www.dropbox.com/privacy do mention handing over data in relation to law enforcement requests in section 3
