I would say don't believe in the press. They are only doing this to
unnecessarily scare users. Mind you I would not put personal records on
Dropbox anyway but not because of Dropbox but in case my machine gets
hacked or I need to take it in for servicing for example.

Hi all
I just read on a document in a local magazine here which talks about things
like consumer services, (including the Internet), that DropBox says in the
small print of their service agreement that everything that you put on their
servers they automatically assume ownership of the rights to. They are advising
consumers not to put items which contain highly personal data on their services
because even after you have deleted them, they still retain copies.
Drop Box apparently claim that even their own employees can't see the content
of files. But according to this article, that isn't strictly true. that isn't
absolutely true. I can't deny this has me concerned and I think I'm off now to
delete all of our personal records. At least until I find a reliable way to
encrypt them.
