FWIW, the information is encrypted in dropbox -- you need to profile an "Encryption key". http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/iphone-ipod-touch-i...

Thankfully, with sane encryption you don't need to trust them. (Or any other cloud outfit).

They're more than welcome to distribute and analyze as widely as they see fit, the few hundred megabytes of random-looking data sitting in my account :)

Some people don't trust closed-source encryption.
