You shouldn't be. Their "encryption" does little more than provide them a way of saying "We can't comply with your subpoena because we don't have the user's key!"
Granted, Dropbox's security is pretty laughable too.
Your best option is probably to store e.g. a TrueCrypt container in either service. (Dropbox will only sync the parts of the file that change, so there's that. Pretty helpful if you've got a 1-2GB TrueCrypt container.)
- mwilcox 13y agoOh, I'm well aware that's their intention, it's really saying more about Dropbox and the like. It's still cloud storage so I wouldn't store anything incredibly sensitive on there, and you do need to install the browser plugin for the security not to be completely laughable, but it's still a lot more usable than TrueCrypt for day-to-day stuff imo.
