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...It's a total dick-move by Dropbox since access to Contacts is clearly not necessary for Dropbox to work.However, the real problem here is obviously Google Login that only allows blanket permissions to either accept or reject.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.
