Can someone either give the 30 second version of security shortcomings
in Dropbox, or point me to something which describes this?  I'm
interested in understanding this better.

Or is it as simple as "Dropbox communicates over authenticated and
encrypted channels, but within their bit of S3 bucket space a suitably
authorized Dropbox employee, or anyone who circumvents Dropbox security,
can access files unencrypted."

If it is the latter, does the Wuala cryptree FS chunking allow efficient
rsync (or rsync-like) operations (e.g. on a per-file basis)?  The speed
of Dropbox syncs are pretty impressive.  Their focus on simplicity and
availability of a web i/f is also highly attractive.

Cheers,

Ian
