This may be what it does, but it isn't what it has permissions to do. Clearly it can wander around in your dropbox because it does when you tell it where the library is. There is nothing stopping it from snooping wherever it wants.

To be sure, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and when it linked to dropbox the Android dropbox app told me it has full permissions on my entire dropbox. These are the same permissions asked for by Folder Copy and Moon+. Images of the Dropbox permissions screens are attached.
