I agree. I'm seeing a Dropbox telemetry request every single minute on my PiHole. This \"it isn't possible to turn this off\" response from Dropbox is quite disappointing. As a Canadian, this is why I pay for Sync instead, even though the UI is terrible. Telemetry should be opt-in, like on an iPhone. At the very least it should be opt-out. There is no reason this can't be done, even if it means less data for the devs to work with.
