Safest bet is to assume the world can read it. I would encrypt the data as
that way the transport doesn't matter as much. I wouldn't send any
confidential information in plain text unless I was 100% the end to end

Aside from that, I'm sure the others would hand it over in a nice
formatted and unmolested disk image for them to pour over like facebook
does.
well if you encrypt a folder inside dropbox it works locally, and then
when there is a change it replicates it.
not sure how it would play for others however.
