Is Dropbox a safe haven from ransomware?
1) If my local computer and presumably my local network drive were to be encrypted by a ransomware attack, would my Dropbox files also be encrypted? 2) Or is Dropbox a safe place place for my file...

Oh cool, I didn't know that. They should just add a notification for suspicious activity (ie: all files were changed within an hour or 2) with a prompt to roll back your files/quarantine the encrypted ones for 30 days if desired. I may have to upgrade to Pro to protect my photos, Dropbox camera upload works so well!
(I missed the comment you had above Rich where you said "so the previous unencrypted version would be available for recovery")
