how to secure dropbox (chroot,separate user) ?

Dropbox is indeed handy and easy-to-use service, but I am not happy about runing closed-source daemon in my pc. I am thinking how to run it with limited access.

One idea (probably easy to do) is create separate user for dropbox only. Then setup dropbox as daemon as described in Arch's wiki using this separate user.

Other idea was to run dropbox jailed by chroot, but i am not sure how to do it.

Any comments would be welcomed.
