Dropbox Capture Privacy Concern. WHO CAN ACCESS should default to ONLY ME

Dropbox Capture Privacy Concern. WHO CAN ACCESS should default to ONLY ME

DbUser14181

Dropbox Capture's current default privacy setting is "Anyone with link", see here https://capture.dropbox.com/. Anyone with the link can see both the screenshot AND my dropbox username, all without any need to log into dropbox.

 

This is a privacy concern. To amend this, I can manually change the privacy setting for the screenshots to "Only Me", one image at a time. This is time-consuming. There is no way to update this privacy setting in bulk. There is also no way to change the default privacy setting to "Only Me". 


I would like to be able to customize my default privacy setting. I'd also like a way to bulk update the privacy settings for past screenshots.

This is almost a year and a half old and you still have insecure DEFAULT permissions for screenshots. This is beyond awful and wildly insecure. Please take action and fix this security bull**bleep** asap.
