I know I know you won't answer it, it hard being a troll cause you have to counter everything until your paint yourself in a corner. And then instead of answering you jump on another low hanging fruit.

The only reason why I'm responding is cause I'm bored too

Actually, if there is some huge security hole in Dropbox (there isn't) you should make it known...as it will affect several other widely used webtools that use the technology.

But no, you're just baselessly casting suspicions on a service a lot of people like just to win an argument on the Internet.
No that's not my style truth is I've been in the computer/internet industry a long time and I've seen it all.

No no FUD here. Really any system is hackable especially because they all have the same security flaw, the human element. Didn't iTunes get hacked. My yahoo account got hacked, my linux Box did too. Heck I jumped through several Linux servers and windows servers following the hackers trail.

Also like you pointed out many web serves use Dropbox and they threaten to weaken their system.

Last point is do you really trust DropBox? I don't know why you would, those kinds of services are great for transferring non sensitive data, but their servers archive your data and have it persisten for as long as they wish. Once they have it they can scan, index, sell your information. I'm not saying Dropbox will or has done this but the potential is there. And there are many companies who have knownly violated their privcay polocies.

For you the risk might be worth it, bur for me it is not.
