We've got lots of DropBox users but with concerns about where data is 
stored and the fact that the company does (or did?) control encryption we 
point people to Wuala as a preferred alternative. See one of our pages at...

...of course this is a constantly changing market and not necessarily one 
we keep pace with!

Dropbox still has advantages as the market leader e.g. better with ipads 
(or so I've been told)
