Dropbox is in some serious need of better permissions. * This app will have access to your entire Dropbox. * Please make sure you trust this app before proceeding. There's no way that I'm going to approve of access like that.
Yes, Uberzet has access to your entire Dropbox (as is made clear in http://uberzet.com/sharing-more it doesn't access anything other than your Public folder.

From the landing Page: "What is Überzet? Überzet a new way to share and discover files. It's built on top of your Dropbox Public folder. " Then there is a link to http://uberzet.com/sharing-more - which goes into more detail on this.
I really agree with chrisdroukas, I had no idea I would be sharing my public folder until after I'd already approved the permissions and poked around.

Agreed. It's shame Dropbox doesn't let you see what files you have in your Public folder more easily. It would be great if they could some how directly link it to a folder on your computer so you could quickly and easily manage those files.
Ah well, such is the state of the art I guess.

#26Teehee. Sorting by size sorts the string size rather than the true size. At first this leads to logical results, like 0.9GB being at the top of the results, and then you realize that 53mb file is right next to that 53.6kb file. Wait a second~
Again, just a weekend project so all the bells and whistles aren't really there.
