Not for me. All I care about this announcement is the hooks that Mamdouh Habib was hanged on while he was tortured in Egypt, sent there by the CIA.

And one of the Dropbox board members was an ardent supporter of this and other despicable practices(also known as torture).

If Daniel Levine is fine with this, then I am definitely not fine with paying, using or promoting his product API.

edit: I switched to spideroak and am quite happy with the product.

Look up the story of Mamdouh Habib. It's really sad, he was tortured physically and mentally, labeled a terrorist and was released without charges by the USG after 4 years in detention.
