[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1030094, member: 145676"] Yeah - it does save some time but it still uploads the file to the dropbox server at some point, and it doesn't negate my comment that your files end up on the internet. So it is a warning. I feel pretty confident using dropbox but nothing is unhackable. The reason I point out that your files end up on the internet is some people may not want to put sensitive information onto dropbox. Depends on your level of distrust. Also you have to watch how and where you put your files. For example if you use Dropbox's Photos folder and didn't read the rtf - you may not have realized that the Photos folder is global share by default so anyone can see what you put in there. Even non-dropbox users. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
