When you store any sensitive information, you should encrypt/password protect each individual file PRIOR to it being uploaded to the cloud. Then even if somebody were to get access to the file, they still would not be able to open and read it.

As for my not so important stuff . . I guess if your life is so pathetic that you find it interesting, knock yourself out.

It will be interesting to get a legal take on this. Looking at the Dropbox privacy policy: https://www.dropbox.com/dmca#privacy it states:
“Dropbox is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ reasonable measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access.”
I’m not sure what “reasonable” means, but allowing no password probably does not fit the term.

The authors example of a Landlord fits this well.
