DROPBOX PRIVACY POLICY
This document describes how Cloud Storage ("we", "us", "our", the "App") accesses, uses, stores, and shares Dropbox user data when a user connects their Dropbox account through our Cloud Drives feature. It supplements our main Privacy Policy.
1. Who We Are
Cloud Storage is a cloud file storage platform available at https://cloudstorage.bar. We allow users to import files from third-party cloud storage providers (including Dropbox) into their Cloud Storage account.
2. Compliance with Dropbox Terms
Our use of the Dropbox API complies with the Dropbox Developer Guide, the Dropbox API Terms of Service, and the Dropbox Privacy Policy.
3. Permissions Requested
When a user connects their Dropbox account, we request the following permissions:
files.metadata.read — read file and folder metadata (needed to browse the user's Dropbox)
files.content.read — read file contents (needed to import files)
Why these permissions are needed: the user must be able to browse their Dropbox folders and select files for import. We do not request write permissions and cannot modify, create, or delete files in the user's Dropbox.
4. What Dropbox Data We Access
Only files and folder metadata that the user explicitly browses or selects for import. Specifically:
- File and folder names, sizes, modification dates, and folder structure — fetched on demand when the user opens a folder in our Cloud Drives browser
- File contents — only when the user clicks "Import" on a specific file or folder. The file is streamed directly from Dropbox into the user's Cloud Storage storage
- The user's Dropbox account email/display name — used only as the display label for the connected drive
5. How We Store Dropbox Data
- OAuth tokens (access token + refresh token) are stored in our database and used solely to make subsequent rclone API calls on the user's behalf
- File contents are streamed directly through our server and stored in the user's Cloud Storage account on our backend storage. After import, the file is treated like any other file the user uploaded directly
- We do not retain Dropbox file IDs, paths, or metadata beyond the import operation
- We do not cache or index Dropbox content not actively being imported
6. Data Retention
- OAuth tokens are kept until the user disconnects the drive or deletes their Cloud Storage account
- Imported files follow the Cloud Storage main retention policy — the user controls them and can delete them at any time
7. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, share, or transfer Dropbox user data to any third party. Specifically:
- We do not share Dropbox data with advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics providers
- We do not use Dropbox data to train AI/ML models
- The only "transfer" that occurs is the user-initiated copy of selected files from their Dropbox into their own Cloud Storage storage account
- We may disclose Dropbox data only when required by valid legal process or to investigate abuse / security incidents
8. Security
OAuth tokens are stored securely. All connections to Dropbox APIs use HTTPS. Access to our database is restricted to authorized personnel and audited.
9. How to Revoke Access and Delete Data
- In-app: open Cloud Drives in Cloud Storage, click the trash icon next to the connected Dropbox entry. This deletes the OAuth tokens from our database immediately
- From Dropbox: visit https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps, find Cloud Storage, and click "Disconnect"
- Full account deletion: deleting your Cloud Storage account removes all OAuth tokens and associated data
- By email: contact us using the address below to request manual deletion of any data we hold
10. Children's Privacy
Cloud Storage is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Dropbox Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date below.
12. Contact
For questions about this policy, to request data deletion, or to report a security concern, please use the contact options on the main Cloud Storage website (https://cloudstorage.bar).
