    Wow. This is huge. Dropbox basically phishes your Mac password. Dear @apple, you seriously allow this? WTF? https://twitter.com/harrybr/status/774110825770385408 …

        Given the scale of phishing that @Dropbox is engaged in on the Mac platform, @Apple should detect & disable it in macOS. This is #malware.

        What's the consensus on Owncloud? I installed it, works fine. Is it secure enough? Something for http://forum.ind.ie ?
