before i would even think of touching this i'd need to know what sort of permissions im giving this app. And secondly, you care about stats on links that you intend to leave up for a long time as well as give to a lot of people. Im not sure I would trust an on the side project to keep up links that I distribute widely.

All that said, there was talk on the dropbox blog a while back about releasing analytics tools but we haven't heard anything since then.

No worries, even if app will disappear your link will be served by bit.ly.
