BEWARE! because it is a scam to get your email password. The scam will also load a malware on your computer that will then login to your email and send out SPAM to your contact list.

You should NEVER use Dropbox. Check what Snowden said, they hand over your encryption keys straight to the government.

Good alternatives for Cloud storage are Mega.nz and Spideroak, or at a minimum Apple iCloud with encryption enabled. Never use Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive.
