Tell HN: Dropbox now requires access to contacts for Google login
This has been like this for a while, I tweeted to their support about this over a year ago. No response of course...<p>It's a total dick-move by Dropbox since access to Contacts is clearly not necessary for Dropbox to work.<p>However, the real problem here is obviously Google Login that only allows blanket permissions to either accept or reject.<p>Permissions should be granular and as a user I should have the ability the "untick" access to Contacts if I don't want to give an app access to that data. If I untick a permission that is needed for app functionality, e.g. I deny camera access to a camera app, then the app simply would be able to do that feature.
