How Dropbox Hacks Your Mac
What are the legit reasons? Isn't it just reading and writing files to the Dropbox folder?

The accessibility features of the OS are used by Dropbox to implement the Dropbox Badge / Project Harmony feature.

These should definitely be opt-in, however (I don't use the badge), and I would definitely argue that the way they get on the accessibility list is deceptive at best.

I would say that notifying the user on how to do it through the security panel is the legit way to do it.
