You should both distribute your file you want to keep to several devices, as well as a service who's job it is to back things up. Dropbox is only the former.

I can tell you why: You're clearly a (very) net positive contributor, however "strident" is a predictable default for any post of yours that's overly anything, combined with writing in a classical style. Why people are trying to label you i
