The only issue I have with dropbox is slow uploads. I have found bellsouth 
uploads to dropbox kills my internet connection. So I only do syncing early in 
the morning when I leave for work at 4am and my wife will not use the internet 
for a few hours then. Anyone else have issues with syncing large files such
as 850mg video files. I do editing of video for clients.

there. Unbelievable. Fortunately I have Time Machine and the files are there. I 
understand now why dropbox also keeps copies of the files on my hardrive.

I have been heavily using DropBox for years, and have never noticed a lost 
file. In fact, I feel safer with a file in DropBox than nearly anywhere else 
because as soon as I put a file in the DropBox directory on any of my machines, 
it get's magically duplicated on the DropBox site and then on three more of my 
own machines also running DropBox. Five copies should be enough.

If a file is accidentally deleted you can recover it for as long as 30 days. 
Here's how to do it.<https://www.dropbox.com/help/296/en>
