Not enough to make a difference (speaking as someone who works for a Dropbox competitor -- one of my coworkers spent some time poking through the Dropbox code). Also, Dropbox's goal is a bit different because you can't run the client without Dropbox's server. At my company, we don't even care enough to put a minimal bit of protection in -- you need our servers, and our code isn't particularly clever. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Do not taunt happy fun for loops.
