I realize part of the benefit of it is to share files - but what about things I want to make sure are private? I see photos and public when I first sign in - are these both public folders? How do I store things, lets say my resume I want to be able to access from anywhere, but want private? Other than that, it appears to 'just work' amazingly. Having built a somewhat similar backend to a system like that, it really is quite a feat. Edit: Since the startup I was at is now defunct - email me and I may have some a good potential market for your product (very slightly modified)

From the FAQ (http://getdropbox.com/faq http://getdropbox.com/faq): 15. How public are Public links? How Private are my other files? * Any file in your Public folder is accessible to anyone who can guess your public file link and the path to the file. No one can browse the directory, though. * Any file in your Dropbox outside of the Public folder is by default only accessible via computers linked to your account or to you via the web interface. * If you give out a shareable link to a portion of your Photo Gallery (from here), people who know the link will be able to browse any photos in the album you linked from and any sub-album.
