  DropBox is fine ... it doesn't mean you should trust every file shared though. Anyone who get's a virus is unlikely to know how or where they got it. I'm sure they would rather blame something like DB instead of a porn site or pirate music ...

  My only problem with DropBox is the crafty pricing ... $100 for 100Gb but of course the only time you actually get to use all 100Gb is just before you have to start paying for 200Gb. Using Google cloud storage can be as cheap as $0.063 per Gb month or $75 for 100Gb per year but you only pay for exactly what you use so it will work out to less than half of DB. Use WebP for images and you double storage or half the price again vs JPEG. That said, it is less convenient for regular users and DB has nice synching apps for most platforms.

  They don't distribute malware as part of the platform though.

  Band on the Run

  A computer science prof made us use drop box. It was free for a small amount of storage. He thought it was cool. I had no problems. When I tried to expand its use, though, I ran into problems. The problem was not with dropbox. When I wanted to retrieve documents, organizations would not led me download it on their computers. I need to use a flash drive for storage. No one was willing to risk their computers. It was frustrating.

  NeverKnew

  I've used DropBox and never had a problem.

  I'm partial to Evernote. It's not just file storage. Great for organizing everything - including my thoughts during my conversations with my JW friends. There's a free version, but I'm finding that Premium is worth the money.
