    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, thanks for the post! Dropbox offers an API you can use to upload and download arbitrary files, and while&amp;nbsp;Dropbox of course works to maintain a high level of &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/security" target="_blank"&gt;security&lt;/A&gt;, ultimately the decision to use&amp;nbsp;Dropbox (or not) for any particular scenario is up to you as the developer. We can't provide general legal or security advice, so it may be helpful to consult with a lawyer or security professional.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do any of the developers in the community have additional thoughts or examples of how they've addressed this?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi.... I'm interested in building a website that would store very confidential information, such as credit card numbers, passwords, etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Instead of spending thousands (possibly tens of thousands) on a custom system that is secure, would it make sense to rely on Dropbox?&amp;nbsp; So -- instead of storing&amp;nbsp;my users confidential information on my own database, wouldn't it make more sense to sync up to Dropbox and store the data there on a per-user basis?&amp;nbsp; Each user would basically have to create a Dropbox account at which point we'd retrieve that data directly from their dropbox, then close all connections.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does that even make sense?&amp;nbsp; &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@63BC00D2C07DE7E33CE8C5F017232940/emoticons/1f610.png" alt=":neutral_face:" title=":neutral_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;T&lt;/P&gt;</description>
