Like many of your customers, I am an attorney who pays to use your service to share confidential client information with co-counsel and to transfer documents from one computer to another. The information I store is owned by my clients, not me, and I have no right to agree to arbitrate disputes with Dropbox regarding my client's information. Should Dropbox fail to drop this requirement, I will fail to be a Dropbox customer.

A functioning and economically vibrant society requires the means to obtain redress. The idea that I, or anyone else, has knowingly agreed to the arbitration and class wavier clauses in such a contract is, as the Sixth Circuit recently noted, a fiction. The next grievance in the Declaration of Independence after taxation without representation was that the King had, in many instances, taken away the right to trial by jury. Such clauses as Dropbox now includes, as approved by any courts, brings to mind John Adams's reminder that “without the right to trial by jury we have no way to keep us from being ridden like horses, fleeced like sheep, fed like swine and clothed like hounds”.

Many lawyers are storing crucial documents for specific client cases on Drobox, the loss of which could jeopardize theclients' cases. Ethically, I don't beleive lawyers could agree to the class action restrictions and other limitations of liability without getting client permission. Most will find that too much of a hassle and simply store documents elsewher.

How does forced arbitration square with your focus on the customer? It doesn't.

Not sacrificing my rights to a jury trial. Use Google Drive, Box.com, MS One Drive, Sync.com, et al other services instead of DropBox should they continue with this Arb Clause.

Are you really trying to get me to waive my constitutional rights? Please cancel my account. I will encourage others to do the same.
