Don't store anything which could compromise your security, and you should be ok. I use Dropbox for keeping files that I might need on other computers (I'm in a band, so mp3 demos, lyrics etc are useful, info documents for research for work, text files with links to stuff etc - I hate those sites which keep bookmarks for you, prefer having stuff like that in a text file ).
Well, look what's happening with gmail.com: google scans all the email traffic and posts discretely some advertisement on the side when you read it.
So, Dropbox might do this too with your data one day...

If someone tells you to sudo rm -rf ANYTHING, then DO NOT DO IT!
Don't run any command with rm in it unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing.
Hmm, thats an interesting project.. How does it work? Does it take the stuff off my system?
These days, my computers change so much, all I can say for sure here is ubuntu.

It makes a folder in your home dir that you drag and drop files into, when you put a file in the folder it uploads/syncs to their severs. You can set 'em to private or public and download 'em from wherever you might be.
It's nifty, and I use it for stuff that I'm not worried about people seeing.
And what about storing my password database (keepass) encrypted (truectypt)
Is it safe???
I just want one place to update my password db from different computers/systems
i use a truecrypt volume with dropbox. works fine, data's secure.
