Well I have since upgraded my drop box password. Though I do wish programs that use drop box would encrypt the data before storing it there.

I keep sensitive files in Truecrypt containers if I have them in Dropbox.

Which, of course, is such an obvious thing to do. You can never be too secure. Don’t forget to put a plain text file in the same location with the password on it, just in case you forget it and you are away from your post-it note encrusted monitor.

Well it is obvious but sometimes it defeats the purpose, especially if you access files from your smartphone or a tablet. But I guess we can't have everything...

I have a number of apps on my iOS devices which use DropBox as a filing system. Obviously, data in encrypted files won’t be available unless there is a corresponding app to open them.

Same here, I do wish they had some encryption for data between desktop and iOS versions. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I just don't put sensitive stuff in my dropbox.
I actually don't have much sensitive stuff. Things like complicated passwords that keep changing I just keep on post-it notes on the monitor where they're pretty safe from hackers.
