Why does Dropbox ask for your computer password
Hi, I just came across this blog post detailing some, shall we say, unorthodox ways Dropbox is circumventing OS X security features and tricking users into sharing their admin password:

I don't recall if this was mentioned and I couldn't find anything about it by Googling, but it appears that there is similar behavior with the Finder extension setting. Specifically, Dropbox installs and enables a Finder extension. That's okay, other apps do the same. However, if I disable it (I don't like my Finder menus being cluttered), it comes back a few seconds later.
I'm having a hard time understanding why Dropbox insists on ignoring the user? If I remove a setting, it is a bad user experience to just set it back again. If it is critical to the operation of the app, give me a message and let me decide if I want a degraded experience.
With Dropbox making multiple changes to my computer without my consent and reapplying these changes when I remove them, I quickly lose trust. Unfortunately, I use many apps that leverage Dropbox in some way. It will take me a lot of work to replace these programs. I will go through the trouble if Dropbox continues this unfriendly behavior.
