I wonder how they did the auto-update that brought that feature to me... I have a pretty shitty internet connection here and i recognized the dropbox updater sucking up my bandwidth yesterday... I've not triggered any manual update...

Thought this too as soon as the notification popped up.

To the best of my knowledge I haven't updated recently, so they've basically had an auto-update feature sitting dormant for a while.

Nothing fishy here.

They've had an auto-updater for many years. They've now separated it into a separate process, so the Dropbox sync daemon doesn't have to have privileges to self-modify.
