The Dropbox Controversy 

Dropbox can be defined as one of the most popular cloud services in the market. This post is about the Drpbox Controversy. 

Google, as we all know, provides many free cloud services and this has become Google’s strongest selling point and at the same time it has become its weakest feature as well. Many opponents think that no company will give anything free, unless they get something in return. Google answered this question by saying they earn through advertisements and through tracking usage of their users. This allows users to keep their privacy and Google can earn money.

Dropbox is the biggest and most popular cloud service for data storage in the cloud. There are lots of confidential documents as well. Furthermore, the huge file-size limit of Dropbox allows users to send full videos, songs and other media files. Dropbox enables a large number of employees to share files easily. File sharing through Dropbox is not regulated. Anyone can open and view your files when you share them.

Dropbox is facing some security issues for it’s users. While Dropbox encrypted their files the Dropbox employees reserve the right to remove encryption. The question is what’s the point of having an encryption if someone gets the power to remove it? Dropbox answered to this question by saying that while employees reserve access for legal purposes, they prohibited from doing so except in rare circumstances.

What people can actually share? Are employees allowed to share company documents using a free public cloud? Are people allowed to share songs and movies through Dropbox?  These questions remain unanswered.........

It is important to remember that Dropbox isn’t our safe in the sky and Dropbox is just a way of storing files.
