    One final thought, since I have dropbox on my IPHONE, and you guys say that the files reside on the devices, does that mean I just put 60 gig of files on my IPHONE?
    Don't forget the copy of the file out on the DropBox server. Assuming the person who stole all of your computers doesn't delete your DropBox account or the files on the DropBox server you can retrieve those copies (do it as soon as you notice your computers have been stolen).

    As far a mobile devices I cannot give you an answer since I haven't used DropBox on one. I will research that.

    BUT if I were coding such an application like DropBox, for mobile devices, I would deal with the potentially very limited space on a mobile device by keeping on the mobile device "pseudo-files" which would automatically download the actual file when you tried to open the "pseudo-file". You wouldn't notice the difference except for the slowness of opening the file. I might chose to try and optimize the performance by keeping small files (have to define "small" first) on the mobile device and using the "pseudo-file" approach for "not-small" files.


    JOOC are there any mobile apps for viewing/editing CA files???
