Not sure if dropbox encrypts at all and the public folder is dangerously close to your private ones.	hotkiwi (6379)
1192030	2011-04-04 23:48:00	Thanks. That is interesting. It sounds like a good idea and I wondered what others thought.	Pato (2463)
1192031	2011-04-05 01:08:00	I use it to keep a core set of files available across multiple systems so its less about backup and more about file availability. I also use the public folder to keep the teamviewer app in so that when 1 of the many relatives needs tech help I just point them to the public link so they can download it. Finally I love that you can recover files accidentally deleted by using the web interface or even get access to previous versions. Overall, thumbs up.	Barnabas (4562)
1192032	2011-04-05 01:35:00	Thanks Barnabas, That is what I will use it for also. Cheers.	Pato (2463)
1192033	2011-04-05 01:37:00	I use the free Dropbox here at work for our support techs to get access to files and docs that they may need. Great application. Rather slow on the upload though as a 200Meg file can take hours to upload..	paulw (1826)
1192034	2011-04-05 02:20:00	Well that wouldn't worry me, as being retired I have all day to upload files LOL.	Pato (2463)
