But this doesn't mean anything though right since all encryption happens clientside right? Oh...wrong service. This is Dropbox so they have the key on their end.
makes it hard to deduplicate encrypted data maybe?
Explain that to users AND businesses who trust Dropbox with sensitive information.
My sensitive information is in a truecrypt container...does dropbox market itself as a business backup solution, or just consumer?
And also to share files with other people, or access them via the website.
Good opportunity for a paid level of service. Client-side encryption for $X extra per year, to make up for the extra storage used.
Wuala can deduplicate encrypted data. The encryption is a little bit weaker than standard encryption (because you can tell if two users are hosting the same file), but it's not possible to determine a file's content from the cipher text (if the file is unique).
