I'm guessing not at the moment. But, if you are intrepid you could fire up Wireshark and start dropping/sharing/deleting files and see what happens. This actually sounds like fun, however I am otherwise indisposed right now.

No need to do that, their linux client is open source IIRC.

  The program that talks to their daemon is open source. The daemon itself is not.

    That's why I said their "client".

      The daemon is also a client. It talks to their server.

      The client is split into two parts. The "dropboxd" daemon, which talks the server, is proprietary. The "nautilus-dropbox" plugin, which integrates with the GNOME desktop, is under GPL. The RPC protocol between nautilus-dropbox and dropboxd is documented. But (as far as I know) the network protocol between dropboxd and the server is not.
