They have access to users data, as does most cloud providers if we are honest where required to by law (i.e. if a court orders it).

If they can or will ( if they need to in some cases) so how can be user feel secure that the files or data will be not shared or stolen or leaked by the dropbox ( staff) itself?

Again, that is the same as most services unfortunately - you just need to trust them (OneDrive, iCloud, GDrive etc.). Or same as using a USB pen / external drive - how do I know a bad actor hasnt put something on the device, or, the software on the device hasnt been breached etc. Or, that the Windows/Mac install hasnt been hacked and people have got in etc.

If they aren’t honest then what ? User file a suit?

If some staff member is not honest or breach the privacy of the user, user has the right to file a suit against DB personnel?
