As far as you know?

Your data is exposed to The Internet so someone could be accessing it.

I'm not talking about people snooping your data, I'm talking about a configuration error or exploit which gives people access to your information.

Maybe I am naive, but I think the chances of this happening on a cloud based service like Dropbox are going to be a lot lower.

It used to be the running joke that another large commercial database was just found unsecured on AWS! It's not as common in the last year or so which is a good sign!
