I encrypt anything important before I upload it to Dropbox, and I didn't have to read their terms of service to take that precaution. It's always good to be paranoid about your data, but it's idiotic to suggest that anyone discontinue use of Dropbox because they _might_ scan your files someday to provide you with targeted advertising.

The article is definitely fear mongering bullshit. IMO Dropbox is doing a great job. It's simply one the most useful FREE apps out there, and my only feedback for Dropbox is "thank you".
