The few apps I've granted access to my Dropbox always get (or take) full access to all my files, which is disconcerting. Is it possible for apps to be granted access to only the certain directories or limited areas of my Dropbox?
This is one of the reasons I stopped using Todo.txt like a year or so ago.
It needed access to EVERYthing. I understand the developers will not be accessing other files but I just can't let anyone access my personal photos, my school work, my statements, etc. There is a reason I have a password on my computer and letting a program access everything in the folder I love the most just isn't acceptable.
There has to be a way to grant access to a certain file and I will gladly start using these Dropbox apps.

They shouldn't be on Dropbox in the first place. What you put on Dropbox is essentially public - be it for their admins or for law enforcement agencies who don't need a warrant to access your dropbox.
Look up BoxCryptor, or set up encfs on Dropbox yourself. You get all the advantages of Dropbox (everything is on every [non-IOS :(] machine always - with LAN sync), but you suddenly have secure area inside Dropbox.
