The problem is not necessarily *your* machine (although I think that's still a consideration), it's everyone else with whom you share the dropbox. Without authentication, any compromised machine can emit the config, and you'll have no way of knowing it. It gets worse when you consider that other clients for it are available, including clients that run on hosts for which there are few or no effective anti-malware agents (I'm looking at you, Apple.) The takeaway here: Don't use Dropbox for anything you wouldn't want to see posted on the front page of the NY Times. > ----------------- > Who'd you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
