Step 1: download all Dropbox files Step 2: delete Dropbox account

The fact that you have to opt out of such an invasive overreach of privacy is asinine and should not be supported.

As per comment on the hacker news discussion, Dropbox AI was apparently introduced and mentioned in the changelog on October 10, 2023 only for users from the USA.

"Dropbox AI is currently in alpha and available in the US in EN only for Dropbox Pro, Standard, Advanced, Essentials, Business, and Business Plus. Some features may be available soon for eligible non-US customers to test."

I just checked my settings before reading that comment and there is no such setting on my free account ('Basic') from the EU.
