Full Disk Access smbd, sshd, Numbers, Seagate, Malwarebytes and zoom

smbd - that's for sharing files with Windows users. Is this something you want or need to do?

sshd - why do you want that to have full disk access? It enables remote login. Is that something you want or need to do?

Numbers -- I have Numbers, it works fine without full disk access

Dropbox - needs full disk access for certain functionality to work

Malwarebytes Protection - needs full disk access for certain functionality to work

Seagate Dashboard -- not sure what this is or why it needs full disk access

Zoom -- Zoom has notable security vulnerabilities, I would not give it full disk access

In general, I would not give full disk access to a anything unless you know it is needed.
