I think a typical user expects that a file is encrypted locally and then securely transmitted to DropBox for storage. (I don't use DropBox, but its what I expected). I don't believe anyone would expect that DropBox transmits a plain text file and then encrypts the file at its leisure and pleasure. OT: I was just getting ready to audit DropBox via their public API for another project. The article saved me a lot of time.
