But it also raises hard questions about just how Dropbox and other cloud storage services treat the private data stored by their customers.Īs Ars notes, the data customers send and store through Dropbox data is encrypted, meaning no one can decipher what’s stored there. The case is obviously a victory for law enforcement and for public safety, as Brown appears to be a sick and dangerous individual. As Ars Technica explains, it may have been Dropbox who tipped off Illinois law enforcement about Brown’s online activities, which allegedly included the possession and distribution of sexual videos of pre-teen girls.
That arrest may never have occurred but for Dropbox, the popular cloud storage service where many people store photos, files, and videos.
