Here’s a little security note about using DropBox on Mac OS X (and probably on Windows too): the folder you designate as your DropBox folder lives inside your user’s home directory, which usually has restricted permissions when another user tries to view it. However, the DropBox folder and all of its contents are publicly viewable by every user on your system (i.e. drwxr-xr-x ). This even includes the “Private” folder. I’m not sure if changing the permissions of the folder impedes DropBox’s functionality.

I’ve been a part of the beta and it sure is cool looking, but I have found a few bugs.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for more reviews since you posted on mozy (http://www.tipsfor.us/2007/03/04/getting-cozy-with-mozy/). I’ve done some testing for another player in the space, but since I try not to use comments as advertising I’ll just say if you are still doing reviews, shoot me a note and I’ll give you my take…
