You are probably aware of the Dropbox third party AI sharing kerfuffle discussed last week.

If you login to your Dropbox account today you will see that the AI sharing tab in account settings is no longer visible.

This morning, through my university's IT contacts with Dropbox, we learned that the AI settings have now been hidden but are NOT off by default.

This is highly concerning and suggests that Dropbox is trying to sweep this issue under the rug rather than address the real privacy concerns that their AI sharing raises.
