    Hilariously idiotic. It wasn't even a swear, but whatever.

    Regardless of if it was good or bad of you to use accessibility permissions - please stop asking for the master password on every log in. Please redesign your permissions dialog sequence to use the latest API to ask for password ONCE.

    If a user has already said no, you definitely do not need to ask again at every login... its just a terrible user experience and very annoying.

    I don't recall if this was mentioned and I couldn't find anything about it by Googling, but it appears that there is similar behavior with the Finder extension setting. Specifically, Dropbox installs and enables a Finder extension. That's okay, other apps do the same. However, if I disable it (I don't like my Finder menus being cluttered), it comes back a few seconds later.

    I'm having a hard time understanding why Dropbox insists on ignoring the user? If I remove a setting, it is a bad user experience to just set it back again. If it is critical to the operation of the app, give me a message and let me decide if I want a degraded experience.

    With Dropbox making multiple changes to my computer without my consent and reapplying these changes when I remove them, I quickly lose trust. Unfortunately, I use many apps that leverage Dropbox in some way. It will take me a lot of work to replace these programs. I will go through the trouble if Dropbox continues this unfriendly behavior.

    This whole disgusting episode has convinced me that I can no longer go on with Dropbox. This company seems to have lost all respect for its users and it has abused trust just too often in too many different ways.
