The problem is how close my data is to being a web page now.

I feel like all that private data is one click away from being public. Anyone passing by my computer can right click and change a folder to a web page, when they get back to their PC, download everything.

At least before there was somewhat of a barrier, though narrow, it was there.

Do the "linked" files at least get a new bold icon with a globe on it or something so I know it's public. Do I get an email when a folder is made public? Something? What if a malicious script is run on my computer that just makes everything public in my Dropbox folder?




Anyone passing by your computer already can get to your files.
