OT: Drop Box - is it secure?

[Mike Bydalek]

Safest bet is to assume the world can read it.  I would encrypt the data as
that way the transport doesn't matter as much.  I wouldn't send any
confidential information in plain text unless I was 100% the end to end
connection was secure.

Is DropBox itself secure? I would say about as secure as Gmail. There was
an issue a while back where passwords weren't being checked or something,
and anyone could log into anyone's account.  Since then, I only put
non-sensitive material there, or ensure it has been encrypted.

Regards,
Mike

Hi,

Someone wants me to share some confidential information by uploading
documents to his Drop Box account.  My gut tells me this is not a secure
was to transfer confidential information.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
