Good idea. Where is the pricing information? For some reason if you cannot create a sustainable business will you open source it? Good luck with your endeavor.
Background: The Bhagavad Gita gives a summary of the karma yoga process.The Gita itself is a chapter from the epic known as Mahabharata, wherein a dialogue takes place between the prince Arjuna, and his friend and chariot driver, Lord Krishna, on the brink of a great dynastic war. Their conversation is prompted by Arjuna as he is engulfed by sorrow and misgivings regarding the oncoming battle in which he has friends and relatives on both sides. In reply, Krishna then elucidates upon a number of philosophical yoga systems and practices (including karma yoga) by/through which he should indeed continue with the fight on righteous principles.
Public Cloud runs because of Trust. If the trust is broken, then the future of public cloud services is uncertain. China effectively shut down most of the US cloud services. Who can say India and Russia will not do that in future.
You are 100% spot-on. I can vouch for every one of your statement based on my decade long industry experience. Regular people are not going to give rats ass to privacy or security unless otherwise they see bodies falling from the sky.

Connect the dots. You can infer a lot.
It is information disclosure at the finest.
Smart thing is to accept it is a problem and address it. Defending to say it is nothing doesn't make the problem go away. The fault is on both slack and the companies who are using it.
It beats me to see so many Microsoft and google teams. Don't they have their own tools to do this securely.
Leaking of business conversations can have serious implications on many areas from financial to legal. If an employee leaves the company how that will be handled.
The probability of any kind of deal happening with a big company is very less. Be upfront about how much time you can spend with them. Personally I would not spend more than few hours. Also make sure the person you talk with has the power to make decisions and ask their intentions clearly. Preferably in writing.
The real truth is this poll is not a representative of regular dropbox users. Vast majority of them don't care who is in the board or even at the helm of the company. For many the thing that matters are whether the product works for them or not? Are they getting the value for their money? Switching costs . Etc..
Undoubtedly dropbox has one of the best offering in this space. It is highly unlikely for anybody to dislodge them.
