You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Why does the Dropbox forum need to view basic information, like username, email etc?
When I logged into the Dropbox forum today, I was sent to a page that said: "Dropbox Community Forum would like to: View basic information about your Dropbox account such as username, email, and country."
This seems pretty innocuous, but I'd like the opportunity to say no. However, I'm unable to say no and still log into my account.
It says, "You can disconnect apps anytime in connected apps within your account settings."
I don't see "connected apps" anywhere in my account settings.
I went to this FAQ page: https://help.dropbox.com/integrations/third-party-apps
Under "How to disconnect a third-party app from your Dropbox account", Steps 3 & 4, it says to go to my settings and "Click Apps." Where? I don't see "Apps" anywhere in my settings.

That's because the forums use your Dropbox account to sign in. You can't sign in to the forums without a Dropbox account. They're one in the same. It's like using your Google account to sign in to other services, only this uses your Dropbox account.
