IP's are considered personal data according to GDPR, which will go into effect May 2018.

It's been made clear in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") that IP addresses should be considered as personal data as the text includes "online identifier", in the definition of "personal data". Recital 30 clarifies that "online identifier" includes IP addresses."

No I mean if you secure your dbinbox via the settings with a password. If you then login to that dbinbox you get the following url:

I really like the idea but I also have some concerns about people uploading random files to your dropbox. The idea with the password/access token is a good first step but I was surprised to see the password in plaintext in the url after you login...

Besides that it looks someone claimed your signin page as a username.
