They set it for me in Canada, so they are lying there
Hmm. I’m in the US. But I maybe I didn’t tell Dropbox I prefer English back when I signed up nearly 20 years ago.
Does Canada have a GDPR equivalent?
Closest I can think of is "FOIPP" (Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy) in Alberta at least (not sure if the rest of the country has equivalents). But that's mostly things like "you can't share this confidential email with someone else without my permission" kind of thing.
There is no GDPR issue here.
