It is important to know when and when not to use file sharing services such as DropBox, YouSendIT and Google Docs. These services are typically free or very inexpensive and you should not expect great security for this price. So, are these file sharing services secure tools for business? You need to treat DropBox and other file sharing services as a public, shared environment. Avoid putting private, personal, financial, confidential information such as PCI, HIPAA, SOX, Sarbanes-Oxley or HITECH in these file sharing clouds. You can use these services for files that do not need to be secured and you simply need an easy and quick way to get a file from point A to point B.
