   Oo, is it time to eject my dropbox account now?
   That "third party AI" switch has been on everyone's account for who knows how long. I didn't know it was even there until just now.
   Holy crap, turn that off, everybody!
   On web, go to account > settings > then to the third party AI tab, and flip the switch.
   Edit:
   Apparently, it is switched off in places that actually care, or pretend to care about privacy more than North America does.

     @Kaliah @gtbray Do you have a free personal account? Apparently, that tab isn't there for those. Not sure if this means it is on and you can't disable it, or what. It was definitely in my dropbox Pro, so I disabled it.

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) repeated this.

     @BorrisInABox @Kaliah @gtbray I didn't realise this at first but the toggle for it it is in the settings on the website, not the desktop or mobile clients.

     @gtbray @BorrisInABox That's weird. Yeah I'm looking in the online settings, not in the app or anything, and it's not there at all.

     @Kaliah @BorrisInABox the interesting this is that it's only on the online settings not in the program. i suspect that might be why most don't know about it.
