I realize part of the benefit of it is to share files - but what about things I want to make sure are private?

I see photos and public when I first sign in - are these both public folders? How do I store things, lets say my resume I want to be able to access from anywhere, but want private?

Other than that, it appears to 'just work' amazingly. Having built a somewhat similar backend to a system like that, it really is quite a feat.

Edit: Since the startup I was at is now defunct - email me and I may have some a good potential market for your product (very slightly modified)

From the FAQ (http://getdropbox.com/faq):

15. How public are Public links? How Private are my other files?

    * Any file in your Public folder is accessible to anyone who can guess your public file link and the path to the file. No one can browse the directory, though.
    * Any file in your Dropbox outside of the Public folder is by default only accessible via computers linked to your account or to you via the web interface.
    * If you give out a shareable link to a portion of your Photo Gallery (from here), people who know the link will be able to browse any photos in the album you linked from and any sub-album.

Arghhh, we need more than 50 please :)

More Please!

Thank you! If you guys can pull off the "Just Works" (and I think you have; I haven't had a chance to play with my beta yet) this has great mass market potential in my opinion.

For example, I'm working on some code with my cousin; we have Subversion etc.; but his PC is the host and we're never on our PC's synchronously so using Dropbox could solve that problem. Also, my folks manage a large apartment complex and they have files they share across multiple PCs at work and at home, I think DropBox would be simple enough for them to use without causing me stress as the de facto family IT guy.

kudos!
