Dropbox is giving you 30-days to opt-out of arbitration

Popular online storage app Dropbox has updated their terms of service (ToS) and that includes a new clause that would have any disputes setlled by an arbiter of their choosing. That means, if your privacy is ever violated, your data ever damaged, or anything goes wrong in any way at any point in time, you won't be able to sue either directly or as part of a class action. And that may not be a good thing.

Basically they're not responsible for anything that happens even though they are, haha.

Sounds more like they're trying to get away from the bad press of a public trial. I mean, there's still arbitration. It's not like you can't do anything.

Of course, it doesn't help that they get to choose the arbiter.
