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???Regards, Frederick C. Wilt (Began with v9, now using X6 aka v16)

Ahhhhhhh, so dropbox also has a copy of the files. So if all 6 devices are stolen, there is still a copy on the dropbox server that I could access via a brand new device. This would explain why they charge for the amount of storage, because they too are using their space to store my files.
Thanks Fred, Dave, Steve et al, I truly appreciate your patience with me, I think I get it now.D. Scott Hall (The Bridge Troll)

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
