I’ve been wondering the same thing! I’ve been considering using Dropbox for file storage but came across similar concerns about privacy and data access. Would love to hear from anyone who’s looked into how safe it really is in 2024.
because i have placed my website [link removed] backup in it so is it a risk? to place such important files in dropbox?

To be honest, unless you are yourself manually encrypting all data, nearly every cloud storage solution or online tool DOES have access to the files if so needed by law enforcement.
That said I have no issues or worries that Dropbox (Microsoft, Apple, Google etc.) do so unless they absolutely have to.... after all there are trillions of files on here - why would they decide to just look at mine!
