    Hi, 

     

    I am using dropbox iOS sdk to let user login, upload and download photos from his dropbox account, and while exporting the privacy details plist, we found out that user-content like photos, audio etc are linked to user by dropbox, dropbox also mentions that data at rest is encrypted then why do you mention that you collect photos, audio information ? 

     

    We also, have Gdrive sdk integrated in our app for the same functionality, and thier privacy plist does not mention that they collect photos, audio etc. Are you sure the privacy labels that you have mentioned are correct ?  while both G drive and dropbox provide same functionality the info collected by dropbox is much more then Gdrive. 

     

    Also, if i want to configure what is collected by dropbox as mentioned in the privacy link, then where and how to configure so that minimal or only required data is collected by dropbox.

      dev872 Though our SDK does not perform any data collection, including photos and audio, by default, our SDK is capable of doing that. We have chosen to include these permission requests in our privacy manifest though you can inform your users if your app does not do any uploads of this type of data. 

       

      You do not need to explicitly configure anything to reduce or minimize the amount of data collected. The SDK will only perform the operations necessary to perform the actions requested by your app's code.
