Confusion swirled after a report claimed last week that file storage service Dropbox had given away data on thousands of academics.

In case you missed it, the highlights of a research study by Northwestern University published on Harvard Business Review revealed Dropbox had given them "access to project-folder-related data" over a two-year period from about 400,000 users across 1,000 universities.

The researchers initially claimed Dropbox gave them raw data, which they anonymized, but their report was updated after ZDNet reported Monday that Dropbox said it anonymized the data before handing it over.
