Note that while there has been talk of class action, there has been no hint that anyone has yet approached the media to really stir things up. I have no reason to doubt them but it's a shame we've heard nothing from the other side. Your files on Dropbox are secure and replicated across multiple disks, sites and archival storage.Īs has been reported here a few times, some folks indicate they've had their accounts disabled.

Add to that some of the requirements for paid plans where your file versions can be retrieved through 180 days of change and it can be quite the extensive storage requirement.

While people think a terabyte requires the service provider to hold that much storage, at least in my experience as someone who's worked as a project manager building some enterprise solutions, there's replication of your data to a second data centre and then likely a third, followed by ongoing archival off-site storage at various intervals. Do they store your document on a single disk? No. I doubt most companies - Amazon included - offer up much visibility into their storage practices. Thank you for any answer/advice, it would be appreciated :) But then I thought, since the deletion is also synchronized, if one day all my data disappeard from dropbox, isn't it also deleted from gdrive? So is this strategy has any sense at all? So I configured gdrive to backup the dropbox folder on my pc so that any change in my dropbox folder is also applied on my gdrive.

Lastly: the other day I thought that maybe could be a good idea to backup my dropbox files (other than on a personal hdd, but this happens only once in a while) on Google Drive. Is there a way to know what kind of redundancy policy is dropbox using for the Basic plan? is all my data on a single disk somewhere or at least is distributed on multiple facilities? I was searching this online but I've not found a clear answer However, after reading some stuff online I was wondering how much safe is to store sensible documents on dropbox (on an availability point of view rather than encryption), like is there any chance that one day I open up my dropbox folder and all my shit is gone? I have been using dropbox to store my personal documents for some time as I've always thought that was the safest way to having my data backed up on the cloud.

Is dropbox secure for tax returns
