You trust Dropbox. You could presumably trust Zapier. That you don't isn't really an argument for them changing their practices. For example Mint.com keeps your banking passwords in order to do offline-logins, but people still trust Mint not to steal their money. If many people don't trust a startup, I think they likely need to change their presentation style and not their practices.
The difference is Dropbox specializes in files. They have years of practice designing their technology and organization to not spy on their users. Zapler does not have as much practice so screw-ups are more likely.
Indeed. And it's not just about spying.
The Zapier people are probably decent and honest etc, however that's not the point. It introduces a new security threat and attack vectors unnecessarily
It violates the principle of needing just enough access, to perform a task.

#53One of the cool things I've seen people use Zapier for is to test out other collab tools ( https://zapier.com/zapbook/asana/trello/ ). You can test out Trello for a week by piping in data from Asana without the fear of losing a weeks worth of data in Asana if you don't like Trello.
That's super handy. Zapier is shaping up to be my favorite out of IFTTT and Wappwolf. However, would decent if they allowed selective Dropbox permissions (eg limited to a single folder). It's disturbing when startups (even a single individual/founder) has access to all my private data. It's not necessary most of the time either. "Please trust us" seems suboptimal.
Problem is not that Zapier or any other system want access to your whole Dropbox. Problem is that Dropbox API is constructed in such a way that no granular access is possible to request from a user.
Google Drive in comparison is more fine-graned however more complicated to use (from API side) too.

#54We're trying to solve this problem with more of a focus on priorities - mainly to try and prioritise what one person should be working on at a time:

#55Trello has become our default work tool of choice. Have used Asana, but the drag and drop ease of Trello is what appeals to me. Also for kanban style workflows also check out blossom.io, great tool.
