Hey, this is pretty cool. Just checking it out. It would be nice if you didn't need to request Full Dropbox permission to only a specific folder or something. I think DropBox supports that these days. This way we don't have to give you cart-blanche to everything. Thanks.

Edited: too many spelling and grammar errors at first pass.



Hi taude, OP here.

You're not giving us carte-blance to anything. organice is a front-end only application. You're only connecting your browser to your dropbox. There's no back-end, no data is stored on our account and we don't have analytics.


OK, makes sense, I think? But....

When connecting to DropBox, though, I am prompted from Dropbox with: "organice would like access to the files and folders in your Dropbox. Learn more"

And going to DropBox readme on the topic: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/t..., it talks about the different access scopes: select access, app folder, full access....


Yes, _your_ Browser Running organice will have full access to your Dropbox. Nobody but you has access to your browser.
