All I know is that I will avoid any system that can work if I am not conscious.
According to the article, the phone won't unlock if you aren't attentive, i.e., looking at the phone with your eyes open with tiny imperceptible eye movements.
> It's alarming not just because the number is so low, but because Dropbox holds such valuable information for so many people.
I'd suggest that Dropbox users somewhat self select for those not as concerned about security as others. And more concerned about availability.
Dropbox does not encrypt your data server side (or at the very least, can easily decrypt it). And they have proponents of warrantless surveillance on their board:

Do they actually have that ability, though? There's a big difference between "the authentication mechanism has access to this API when you're authenticating" and "everything always has access to this API at all times". I haven't seen any indication that this will be generally available on-demand to applications, and Apple's track record on this stuff isn't terrible (largely because Apple isn't existentially dependent…
So, with Face ID, can you prevent someone trying to compel you to unlock your device by simply closing your eyes or looking away?

For me it's not so much the paranoia or the degree of security (which is an arguable point in itself) but the commodity of it. Touch ID lets me unlock my devices without having to re-position my upper body or move them in (practically) any way, and Face ID feels awkward (I'm typing this on the device that is likely an exception to that - a Microsoft Surface Pro - and Windows Hello's face recognition works beautifully…
