The difference is that Dropbox is only allowed to access those files I tell it to. If the Dropbox client would start crawling my filesystem for 'password.txt' or 'banking-tan.list' this would be illegal, no matter what clause is written in the EULA.

On what basis are you differentiating between agreeing to something that allows then to access your stuff, and "telling it" to access them?
