Dropbox MEGA
On what the policies say, MEGA is the better choice for your data: graded A against Dropbox's B.
Dropbox
Dropbox commits not to build generative AI models on customer content without consent. The commitment is real, but it lives in a principles page, not the policy.
Verdict
B
- Does not train on you by default
- No opt-out in the policy
- Off by default. Training happens only if you opt in, or not at all.

MEGA
MEGA says it cannot decrypt your files or chats, and excludes them from its privacy policy for that reason. Not a promise about what it does — a claim about what it can.
Verdict
A
- Does not train on you by default
- Cannot train on you: the content is not readable to them
- Cannot train on you. Your content is not available to the company in usable form.
