This in what read about risks of Full Disk Access:
"Full Disk Access is a security feature, introduced in macOS Mojave, that requires applications to be given full permission to access user-protected files. If not enabled, some data on the Mac will not be accessible. In previous macOS versions, this permission was automatically given during installation.
Accessibility allows an app to control and listen to the system outside of its own container. This is often used for apps that extend system functionality or run processes in the background, such as productivity apps.
Itâs also not something you should be afraid of, as it is just marking an app as trusted so that it can access your data. Youâll still only want to enable apps that have a good reason to be scanning your whole drive, but in reality, thereâs not too much locked down behind the âFull Disk Accessâ permission.
However, this doesnât give the application root access, which would give it the ability to delete or modify the system files macOS uses to run. Youâll have to put in your password manually if an application wants root access."
I think that Dropbox is a reliable app.
