wired seems pretty definite about it. What I was mocking was that anyone would store sensitive anything in plain text at this point. How long has it been since the hacker games began? And if I remember that correctly, then this screen shot is pretty damning, All files stored on Drop-box are encrypted AES-256, eh :) that's pretty not-admitting the plain-text thing.
I have actually been that person who can see user data, many times.In itself that thought doesn't scare me, because believe me, on the whiole other people's data is extremely boring. But we didn't promise otherwise. Saying you use AES-256 is a very specific statement about a very specific protocol, which is very *not* plain-text. This bit is pretty damning too (from Wired article you cited, supposedly they've been editing their product claims...): Dropbox employees arent able to access user files, and when troubleshooting an account, they only have access to file metadata (filenames, file sizes, etc. not the file contents). Now the site says: Dropbox employees are prohibited from viewing the content of files you store in your Dropboxaccount, and are only permitted to view file metadata (e.g., file names and locations).
