Just wondered what it is and how safe it is to download as I've had a message from someone who won't add his face picture to here due to his job but has it in this drop box thing. |

use Dropbox all the time, can't say that its 100% safe, but I've never had anything that I've had reason to concern at the time or later. I'd go as far as to recommend it for file transfer. Good luck and enjoy Dropbox  |

It's used a lot in the modeling industry for photographers to send images to models etc so can't see it being insecure tho nothing is totally secure against a brute force attack . We use it for the above to both send and recieve images |

We use it for work stuff so I think its fairly secure, but personally I wouldnt use it for here because you have to 'accept' the other person before you can share files and Im always suspicious about people being able to access my details/privacy etc |

I'm a bit of a techno thickie so I worry when something has the option to 'share on Facebook' - I'm terrified that pictures might end up on there that I definitely don't want to be shared with my family and vanilla friends.
None of our more risque pics go onto Dropbox for that reason. |

Why not set up another email address? They're free!
No need to give your own then!

"What wrong with putting a pic in private then mailing it directly from here ?
No pic no meet simples"
I've told him that but he quoted his strict HR policies as he works with lawyers and I mentioned some on here are the same but not replied yet. Just think I shan't bother with faffing around as I might download it to find he's not for me or worse, a bloody virus  |

I'd just set up a new email address that's totally separate from any of your existing ones and not linked to any of your social media accounts. Seems easier than faffing around with Dropbox. His excuse sounds a bit dubious to me too... |

Personally wouldn't bother with someone that won't send an attached face picture. Just screams fake to me |

He's been verified and have checked, given who she has been verified, definitely not fake |

Privacy is a big concern to some of us. The idea of a totally unlinked email account whose name is not in any way used to you is ideal for this situation - i have had one for a while. That email account is used for nothing but naughtiness so it can't link back to you / your mobile / your email in any way. Similarly though if you want yo use whatsapp, you need to ensure your facebook privacy settings are set so that people can't "find friends" via a mobile number.
Be careful of giving out mobile/email addresses unless you trust a person
