Potentially unsafe Dropbox behavior
In continuation of today's theme Dropbox on Habré, I want to share a small discovery made the other day.
Perhaps there is no problem, but it will not be superfluous.
In short, dropbox stores the cache of files in the \ Documents and Settings \% username% \ AppData \ Roaming \ Dropbox \ cache \ "folder (in Windows 7. The path will be different on other OSs)
')
In general, there is nothing really bad, the folder is closed and with the same access rights as your documents. But potentially, if you used dropbox on someone else’s (for example, work) computer and stopped using it - some people may later find copies of some of your files in this folder.
That's it.
