Security issues with using dropbox sync

medic

Hi



Currently using 1password mac and have the 1password agile keychain stored in an encrypted disk image (using Espionage 2).



Thinking of using dropbox to sync with iphone 4 (and maybe work windows computer).

Are there any security issues using dropbox to sync? My data includes logins to financial sites, credit cards etc...



Presumably, I won't be able to use an encrypted folder within dropbox? For example, a truecrypt container



Thanks

Hi medic



Ill point you to faq on the site in regard to syncing and see if that answers your questions.

You would no be able to use the truecrypt folder for 1P as there would be no mechanism for opening it on the device etc. if you are going to use the Dropbox sync.
