Yes. Google certainly is.
They make it clear that they mine your information in order to direct
advertising AND they advertise to you.
It's not obvious how dropbox make money from you, except to charge for
premim accounts, and by getting you to get more people to join.
A prudent user could use their 2 GB and as long as DB did not steal
their data (as discussed) there would be no ads and no mining.
