\nTIPS/SUGGESTIONS:
\nSpiderOak: \xc2\xa0If security is a concern for you, or if you store important (read: tax) files in Dropbox, you might want to consider switching to SpiderOak. Like Dropbox, first 2 gbs are free. \xc2\xa0Up to 100 GB for $100 for 12 months… but with the code SPRING save 25%.
\nBoxCryptor. \xc2\xa0Don\xe2\u20ac\u2122t want to leave DropBox, but want to be more secure? \xc2\xa0Then there is BoxCryptor. Works with Mac/Windows/Linux/Android/iOs. \xc2\xa0I found this one while searching for more secure storage, and mentioned it to Steve Gibson. \xc2\xa0He will now be covering this, along with SpiderOak, in the next Security Now.
