The consequences of an attacker getting access to my Dropbox are less grave than an attacker accessing my email account.
Can you be specific as to why? If you use Dropbox for personal information, I'd assume it would be similar.

- bradwestness 14y agoOnce someone has access to your e-mail, they can reset your password and log into anything that you used that e-mail to sign up for. With Dropbox, all they'd have access to is whatever files you happen to have in your Dropbox at the time.
- shawabawa3 14y ago1 reason would be that you can reset your dropbox password with your email, but you can't get your email password from dropbox (unless you store something silly like passwords.txt in dropbox)
