Do a lot of people think that Dropbox is some sort of super-private service?

I'm no security expert, but do I hope it's obvious to most people that Dropbox wouldn't be able to do stuff like reset your password if they didn't have access to the contents of your files at some level. A truly secure and private service would look a lot different, and be much more complicated to set up. That's the tradeoff.

Those are pretty damn high hopes even for the average user from the generation that grew up with computers.
