Not sure where you got that assumption from. We don't own your data anymore than Dropbox does.

So what you're saying is, you own it entirely.

Dropbox has:

- Access to everyone's data.

- Control over everyone's data.

- Control over the clients used to access that data.

What is actually private? Nothing.

What do users "own"? None of their tools.

SaaS makes the world a worse place, one rent-seeking product at a time.
