Exactly the same risk you take when you put money in the bank.
Old real estate proverb: If it's in writing you have a prayer,
If it's verbal, all you've got is air.
If your program is of semi-vital status, perhaps a paper copy archived in a notebook as a backup . . .
If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

No, if I understood correctly what Shawn said, all the data is in your local computers. So, it is not in a remote server where the data can get corrupted and lost. If it is like Shawn said, then I would have to take a closer look at dropbox.com.Originally Posted by Archangel

Hi,
It's both.
Basically, on each computer where you have Dropbox installed you have a Dropbox folder. This folder is mirrored "in the cloud" (on Dropbox servers) and on all other computers connected to your Dropbox. If you change a file on one computer it gets changed in the Dropbox on-line and on all the other computers connected to that Dropbox as soon as the "sync up".
If one Dropbox enabled computer is off the net you still have the files on the local harddrive in the state they where when the computer lost internet access. If you change a file on this computer the other machines will get updated as soon as this machine has internet access again. I'm not sure exactly how it works if the same file is changed on another computer as well.
Take a look at Dropbox website, they show you how it works.

More like putting money in the bank AND keeping a copy of it at home, at work, and in your pocket. :P

Leprechauns have the right idea there

I don't know about leprechauns, but the dropbox service, at least the free 2GB with bonus for every friend, is good for me too. I have currently 4 devices synced (including my phone) and all files are available either being on or off line.
Also there is a special function that allows files in the local Dropbox folder on the Hard disk, to be shared on demand. Just right click on the selected file in the folder and click on the 'Share Drobox link' . Then the link is copied in the clipboard.
I think similar idea is the iCloud or SkyDrive.

Just be aware that others may delete your stuff so be careful with permissions (was like that way back).

Yes you are right Robert, so, I usually make a copy of my file to share and drop it in the dropbox, then share it.
