Facebook issues statement on Messenger hubbub

Facebook has been getting a lot of flak for its unbundling of messaging with its mobile apps. Now, the company behind the social network has issued a statement to help calm down any fears its users may have about the move. Facebook’s Peter Martinazzi is calling on people to calm down about the entire situation but it doesn’t look like they are apologizing for forcing people to download another Facebook app. You can read the full statement at the link below.

Like most other apps, we request permission to run certain features, such as making calls and sending photos, videos or voice messages. If you want to send a selfie to a friend, the app needs permission to turn on your phone's camera and capture that photo. We don't turn on your camera or microphone when you aren't using the app.

Dropbox lowers 1TB storage price to $9.99 per month

Dropbox has just consolidated it three Pro accounts into one US$9.99 per month plan for 1TB of storage (which you can also get for $99.99 annually). It is now similarly priced to Google Drive’s 1TB offering but still higher than Microsoft (they charge $2.50 per user for 1TB per month through OneDrive or $6.99 per month with an added Office 365 subscription).

The Pro users also get passwords for shared links, the ability to set a time limit for shared access, and a view-only permission for shared folders. A remote wipe security feature is also available for those who lose or get a device stolen, meaning it stops syncing with the device and unlinks said gadget. New users will get the features now while those with existing Pro accounts will have access to them in the coming days.
