Comment on How Dropbox sacrifices user privacy for cost savings

Comments

tl;dr Dropbox use their own encryption keys to encrypt your data rather than encrypting each user's data using a user provided key. This helps them dedup files and save space/money. This implies that a court could ask to analyse your data. Dropbox will update their privacy policy to say this clearly.
