security of files on dropbox

[snail]

Apart from the standard password etc that is on dropbox, how else can you protect your files without having an issue, for example, whereby if you encrypt your files on your pc with some sort of encryption program, and then when you out and about and want to get your files urgently then you don't have the software to decrypt it?

How can you protect your data while still being able to access from any pc without issues?

I wrote this article (http://southafricanhosting.blogspace.co.za/wordpress/?p=57) about the state of global security recently ...thought I'd add it here for your interest. It has nothing to do with Dropbox, but does highlight how unsafe some big players actually seem to be. ..
