I am not aware of any privacy issues. My account is protected with a=20 fairly strong password and I don't think that brute-force techniques=20 will break it anytime soon. That include the web-access option. I use both Dropbox and SugarSync. My Dropbox account is of the free=20 variety but I pay for my 30GB SugarSync account. I find that the two services compliment each other rather than compete. >I've just started using Dropbox file storage and synchronisation software = - >recommended by others here in the past. Darn it all - I hope that you used someone's referral link=20 (preferably mine . If you didn't use a referral link, feel=20 free to pass mine on to the Dropbox people so that both you and I get=20 the extra 250MB free storage. Here's my referral links if anyone chooses to join the club: Dropbox: SugarSync: In terms of 'free mode', Dropbox wins hands down over SugarSync and=20 several of the other similar services that I looked=20 at. Specifically, Dropbox will synchronize many machine together=20 whereas most of the others will sync only 2 or 3 machines before=20 forcing you to go for their paid-for version. The downside is that=20 Dropbox is nearly the most expensive paid-for service out there.
