Anyone have any experience with Dropbox on a Mac under Leopard

Asked an answered in your other thread, on the 18th.
"Can I talk about software on my G4?"
Very strange that this new thread, dated on the 15th, should come
thru now. sigh. Googlehell.
It asked me a second time for my admin Password, in order to open up
some kind of channel. It frightened me.
The first time is when it needs access to /Applications, to install
itself. (unless you copied it over there manually).
The second time is when it needs to integrate itself into Finder --
so it can display the icon badges, and link file system events
mechanism so it can see when you've changed a file.
Once Dropbox is properly installed, it should never ask you for your
password again.
It is a well-written secure app. It is NOT doing anything nefarious etc.
