Why So Much Telemetry ?
Hi All, My Pi Hole is blocking an INCREDIBLE amount of DropBox telemetry, even more than Windows telemetry, and by a large margin. So I have a few questions. 1. What is this telemetry for ? 2....
Hi Jay,
Well that’s me out.
It’s constant and I have no control of data being sent from MY machine, especially when I have purposefully clicked the option that turned that off.
So it turns out that we have all been deceived.
If I want that turned off, that’s it. Period.
I’ll migrate my data to another service.
Please note: I must also refer this to European GDPR, as Dropbox are clearly not compliant.
Thank you all for your patience and help.
Kind regards,
Gary

I found this thread because my pihole is also blocking a CRAZY amount of telemetry.dropbox.com and I fully agree with Gary. We MUST have the option to share our information or not to share the information if that is what we choose. I am very dissapointed in these findings. I will also be looking in to another service to migrate to that is more transparent.
Also fully agree w/ the other annotators. one callback per minute is way too much and not providing an option to turn off undocumented!!! telemetry is even worse. This is a 'good-bye trigger' for me. I also think this is not GDPR compliant. Dropboxers, your data protection seriousness is way too lazy!
