I handle Dropbox privacy by having a script that GPG encrypts critical files (SSH keys for customer's servers, confidential material that I have signed strong NDAs for, etc.) and backs up the encrypted versions to my Dropbox account.

My standard consulting contract stipulates that I take reasonable precautions with customer materials, and I feel like this is good enough.
I don't trust any computer systems to be absolutely secure from organized crime and all governments (I am not equating the two :-) and having the NSA, GCHQ, etc. store mass quantities of data seems like a real problem since organized crime and other governments might hack in and then have a lot of business sensitive material in one place, and also, get a potential source of blackmail material all in one place.
