Dropbox Capture Privacy Concern. WHO CAN ACCESS should default to ONLY ME
Dropbox Capture's current default privacy setting is "Anyone with link", see here https://capture.dropbox.com/. Anyone with the link can see both the screenshot AND my dropbox username, all without any need to log into dropbox.
This is a privacy concern. To amend this, I can manually change the privacy setting for the screenshots to "Only Me", one image at a time. This is time-consuming. There is no way to update this privacy setting in bulk. There is also no way to change the default privacy setting to "Only Me".
I would like to be able to customize my default privacy setting. I'd also like a way to bulk update the privacy settings for past screenshots.

Hey DbUser14181, thanks for taking the time to post here.
We really appreciate your feedback about this.
This is a known concern and we're currently working to remedy it.
More info will be communicated soon.
Have a great day!
This is almost a year and a half old and you still have insecure DEFAULT permissions for screenshots. This is beyond awful and wildly insecure. Please take action and fix this security bull**bleep** asap.
