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...
"Simply put, the security of your computer and the data stored on it is your responsibility. There are ways to protect your system from ransomware. Use them."
My computer is a Mac. It's immune from ransomeware. All of the files in my Dropbox folder were overwritten as .ecc files and since the folder was cold-storage I didn't notice it until after 30 days so I'm screwed.
My computer wasn't infected because it's immune. The infection must have occurred on Dropbox's servers which then overwrote my files. I was responsible for my own computer's security. My connection to Dropbox was the problem.
