    Dropbox

    The CEO of one of my client's divisions has suggested that dropbox be used to distribute confidential information. Is this insane - might as well publish direct to wikileaks - or is it really secure and robust?
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

    Would not put anything even slightly sensitive in a system like dropbox. The files must reside one their servers somewhere and are totally out of your organistation's control and you don't have a clue who could snoop on them IMO.

        Why are the people at the top of an org thicker than those at the bottom?

        Public school education I suspect.

          Intelligence is as intelligence does.
          So people at the top with their large bonuses, huge salaries and sinecure positions laugh at the "intelligent" drones they employ for 60K.

            I suspect you're right.

              I love dropbox, but don't have anything in there that is sensitive, if I do I make sure word documents are password protected

              I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

                  Amazon S3's JungleDisk has true AES encryption. Dropbox is for girls.
