Dropbox Responds To Security Flap - Security - End user/client
Why has Dropbox been following links in uploaded documents?

That question surfaced Thursday after a security researcher found that
links inside documents that he uploaded to the file-sharing service had
been accessed. "I had the opportunity recently to beta-test
HoneyDocs.com<http://honeydocs.com/>,
a Web app that generates documents that can 'buzz home,'" wrote Daniel
McCauley Thursday on WNC InfoSec
Blog<http://www.wncinfosec.com/dropbox-opening-my-docs/>.
"This is done by a unique embedded GET request that is initiated when the
generated document has been opened."
