intelligibly , masses panicked . This is n’t the case however , arguedAgileBits , which said that Dropbox need to admit that paragraph because part of the Dropbox servicing is sharing media from the public brochure , which Dropbox republishes .
After user ’ outcry — and a few deleted accounts — Dropbox amended the paragraph , detail the article further :
You retain ownership to your stuff . You are also alone responsible for your demeanor , the message of your files and folders , and your communications with others while using the Services . We sometimes postulate your permission to do what you ask us to do with your stuff ( for example , hosting , making public , or sharing your Indian file ) . By present your stuff to the Services , you allot us ( and those we ferment with to cater the Services ) worldwide , non - exclusive , royal house - free , sublicenseable rights to apply , copy , distribute , cook derivative works ( such as translations or format conversions ) of , perform , or publically display that stuff to the extent moderately necessary for the Service . This permission is solely to enable us to technically dish out , showing , and maneuver the Services . You must ensure you have the right hand you involve to grant us that permission .
