Right, which is why I don't have any HIPAA-covered data in Dropbox, but my risk assessment does not include "I have Dropbox installed on my machine, ergo, I need to be careful to never access HIPAA-covered info from my machine", which is apparently the level of care I now need for Yosemite. (An upgrade which just got delayed indefinitely, for the obvious reason.)

You're a braver person than I then. I wouldn't download HIPAA data to a machine with Dropbox on it, anymore than I would be downloading protected research data to such a machine. But then, I'm not a doctor so I don't deal with one-off patient info, so it's easy for me to maintain separation.
Though if this is actually a thing that many people want to do, perhaps the new Blackberry OS actually does something that people need...
