Dropbox (non Nth America users) services to move to Ireland

[Lynx-lynx]

I don't know the implications of the following, but I thought it might be of interest. From a Dropbox email:

Hi there,

If you're a user living outside of North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico), we're updating our Terms of Service to better serve you and the growing number of Dropbox users around the world. These changes include the fact that we'll be providing our services (including Dropbox, Dropbox for Business, Carousel, and Mailbox) to you via Dropbox Ireland starting on June 1, 2015. Please note that none of our services or features are changing as a result of this. You can read the updated terms at https://www.dropbox.com/terms.

Have questions about these changes? Visit our Help Center.

Thanks for using Dropbox!
The Dropbox Team

I suspect it will amount to lower taxes (for them).

Might be good news for non-American users if the data is no longer hosted in USA for privacy reasons

We lost the war on privacy about the time the Internet was invented, we just didn't know it is all. All we are doing at this point is negotiating our terms of surrender.
