  • What level of encryption is used in the Dropbox servers and when syncing files between devices?

    Hi, I would like to know what level of encryption if any is used by Dropbox for user space on the DB servers or during file transmission between different computers. Also does DB encrypt the data on the user hard drive? I work for a company and some files are classified. I want more peace-of-mind while using DB.

  • I can't sync my files due to low disk space on my computer, but I have lots of space, why?

    Very annoying. Dropbox is giving me the 'can't sync due to low disk space' message - this is on a new system with a 1TB drive with 260G available. We have a 50G biz account, and we're using about 4% of it. ATM, this is the only machine attached to it. Please fix this, guys. OneDrive/MS doesn't need any more money.
