And,
this is why I don't use Dropbox's "click to upload" option, for our clients. I'm always terrified that one of my clients will get god-knows-what and infect us. As it is now, the files come via server/FTP and I can check them for viruses, malware, etc.
before I put them on our internal dropboxes. but Dropbox's new functionality--creating a dropbox for someone, and sending them the link to upload, seems like asking for trouble, for those of us using the synched service.
Given the way that we use Dropboxes internally, it would be BAD, boy. BAD.
