Re:Ask HN: Do you take Ritalin or Adderall? on Thursday May 07, 2015 @04:42PM (#9508147)

Re:Dropbox Is Probably Not Stealing Your Files on Tuesday March 03, 2015 @12:27PM (#9139019)
"The Dropbox application uses a filesystem monitor to detect when changes are made by monitoring filesystem write events. This is, by necessity, a system-wide process. So DLP alerting that Dropbox is “acccessing” a new file shouldn’t be surprising."

I think this SHOULD be surprising to any competent software engineers. That isn't how the file system watcher works.
