Last week I received an email letting me know that someone shared a link with me. Turns out, it was spam.
Nothing special about it - a young lady, naked, holding a sign asking me to visit a website for more pics.
What is a bit frustrating is how completely unprepared Dropbox appears to be to handle spam. There appears to be no method of deleting an undesired shared link from an account. Several days later, the nice naked lady is still at the very top of my Events page - with a helpful thumbnail, of course.
Dropbox appears to be aware of the issue: http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/dropbox-investigating-reports-of-spam-emails/
While they do their due-diligence in creating some working spam filter, though, how hard would it be to simply add an option for deleting a shared link from an account?
Do you think they will be successful?
