boox drop security concern

Hello,

playing around with Boox Drop I noticed that its port (8085) stays open even after exiting the application. This is a huge security problem because anybody with a port scanner in the local network can read and write files at will after Boox Drop was launched and exited

Also, Boox Drop access via LAN isn't password protected. It should be.

Cheers

  I now noticed the boox drop icon in the status bar, which can be switched off.

  That resolves most of the issues I reported

  Case closed ;-)
