I think you are right; the encryption key must be stored in their servers so if they are compromised the files would be compromised.
As a general rule you shouldn't trust a third party with the security or encryption of your very sensitive files but encrypt those files yourself before they go into dropbox (or other services).
- aik 16y agoWhat encryption mechanism would you recommend for this? I have some pretty low risk files in my Dropbox but I still encrypted them with a long complex password with 256-bit AES encryption through WinZIP. I've heard GnuPG is better as it allows asymmetric encryption, but this should be good enough.
- lazyant 16y agoIf the files are just for you there wouldn't be an advantage having asymmetric (public) encryption.
