&gt; I sympathize with the tinfoil hat crowd<p>This is inflammatory insulting language and your use makes me trust Dropbox even less.  The thing is that post Snowden companies like the one you work for are assumed to be in the wrong on privacy and the &quot;tinfoil hat crowd&quot; as you put it are demonstrably correct. Companies (and individuals) don&#x27;t use Dropbox because they trust it (anymore) they use it because they think that they documents they store there don&#x27;t have any important intellectual property that the US government can pass to their competitors&#x2F; will contribute much to the sum total of what the NSA data store knows about them.
