Is Dropbox secure or private?
All files you store in Dropbox are private. We have strict policy and technical access controls that prohibit access to file content except in these rare circumstances. In addition, we use a number of physical and electronic security measures to protect user information from unauthorized access.
What happens if you uninstall Dropbox?
Uninstalling the Dropbox desktop app will not delete your Dropbox account or remove the Dropbox folder from your hard drive.
Is Dropbox safer than email?
This is safer than sending the file as an email attachment, since the recipient’s email service may not have strong security. This method isn’t perfect (since, again, Dropbox can see your files), but it’s almost certainly better than using an email attachment.
How can I remove Dropbox from my computer?

How to check if Dropbox is legit or not?
To double-check the authenticity of the website, you should also check the SSL certificate Dropbox uses. As you can see in the screenshot, Dropbox.com is protected by a DigiCert EV (extended validation) SSL certificate and this certificate has been issued to Dropbox, Inc.
How good is Dropbox as a tech support service?
Dropbox has knowledgeable tech support, unlike Microsoft, which basically has no tech support, and unlike Google, which uses clueless Indian tech support. Dropbox actually helps you fix issues. Google’s phone monkeys just tell you to turn your computer off/on, then they try to get you to end the chat because they don’t know what else to do.
What is Dropbox and how does it work?
Dropbox allows users to create a special folder on each of their computers, which Dropbox then synchronises so that it appears to be the same folder (with the same contents) regardless of the computer it is viewed on. Files placed in this folder are also accessible through a website and mobile phone applications.
