Dropbox has two types of authorization, entire dropbox level and app-folder level. IFTTT allows you to type in a full dropbox path instead of being restricted to /ifttt, so it requests the full access. It would be nice if they offered you the choice, and then if you picked the app-folder, the paths only allowed /ifttt.

It also looks like DropBox doesn't have access levels beyond that. If you have access, you can use any of the API, upload / download / delete / etc.
