It is slick. There are alternatives. As long as it's not sensitive
information your fine. Plus you should scan the folder with your security
software all the time. Problem is that it's always synchronizing because
it's always running and I'm not sure if all security software scans that
synchronizing stream. So I'd at least set it to scan the Dropbox folder
every day.

I can't stop!  It saves me lots of work copying crap from thumb drives or
emailing back and forth from home and work etc. I don't share with others
though.
