1376664 2014-06-07 00:58:00 I'm using Dropbox, mainly to sync files with people who work with me. But also have some personal stuff - not so much sensitive - but just nice to keep private.
Can anyone think of a way to keep this personal folder private, just for me or those I pick should view it?

It doesn't have to be "over the top", high level security, encryption, or anything like that as the people I share my dropbox with are definitely not into "geek" stuff, and are basically honest.

1376665 2014-06-07 01:20:00 you can created "shared folder" and share them with other people instead of sharing your whole dropbox. that would be much easier I reckon. ronyville (10611)
1376666 2014-06-07 02:23:00 Thanks ronyville.
I found this www.howtogeek.com
which works, but only provided in folder options, the button "don't show hidden folders....." is selected.
Which I believe is default option anyway.
