Safe to share sensitive files?

أنا لدي صور وذكريات حساسة وأحيانا مقالات سياسية فهل مشاركة دروبوكس لذالك أمن؟

-----------------

I have sensitive photos, memories, and sometimes political articles, so is it safe to share it with Dropbox?

    Hi Abodhaby1 

     

    Dropbox is as safe and secure as you make it. 

     

    If you share the files via links then it becomes in the public domain and anybody can access. 

     

    Dropbox also does not allow illegal materials and storing/sharing/using such could result in accounts being terminated and reported to local Authorities.
