If you don't pay for the service, do they offer sufficient protection for your customer's data to be entrusted to them under the Data Protection legislation in the UK? Might also be an interesting question to ask of your Google apps use. Fergy, just a thought, have you considered the legal implications of your contract with dropbox?

Fantastic application with huge potential - they even store a file history in your online account, so if you've overwritten a file by accident...it's right there waiting for you. From a security point of view, the guys that run it are pretty open and honest, and seem to be pretty switched on, and that gives me the confidence to use it to store confidential files.
