first action: inform me of new files in public folders.

We at https://cloudHQ.net are actually doing something like that for couple of our big customers. It is not yet completely polished and finished, so, if possible, I would like to ask you if we can learn more about your requirements. My email is in profile. Thanks!

I took a look, excited about this software, but giving a third party access to my entire Dropbox to an organization that doesn't state it's security policies, and says that the only way to delete my account is to drop the founder an email seems like I'd be exposing myself to more risk than I would like.

A better way would be to share a folder to their Dropbox email account, so you only expose to them what you want.

The best way would be to make desktop software that did the required tasks without exposing third parties to the data at all.

Wouldn't That count towards the overall size limit of their Dropbox account and fill up quickly?

It's entirely free as well, so there's nothing to lose by giving a shot.

So basically it will stay up for 6-12 months and then shut down.

Does iffft do what you want? I'm not super familiar with it, but it might.
