Dropbox... is it me?

I needed to send an 80 Meg file to a vendor for analysis and they sent me a Dropbox link. Knowing it was too big for email I had asked for an ftp link .

What I received was a link to Dropbox and when I clicked it I had to create an account. No big deal, it worked, trace file uploaded, problem solved.

But now I am in Dropbox spam hell. Even before the emails from which I have twice unsubscribed, I had to disable their really annoying task tray app from starting when I boot.

Is this just me or is Dropbox a bit offensive?

Apparently you don't need Dropbox but just installed it to share a file. Just uninstall it if the task tray app annoys you but I can't imagine how it could be annoying. It just sits there.

I use Dropbox every day (to share files among my devices) and have never found it annoying. But I do find it a very useful cloud storage product.

I have never gotten any spam emails from Dropbox.
