Dropbox Bug Can Permanently Lose Your Files
This guy didn't backup his computer before upgrading the OS? That was his first mistake.

I backed up everything else. :) I usually back up my Dropbox just in case, too, but I just didn't this time. I won't make that mistake again.

I do this all the time. It is the strength of dropbox that I can lean on it to do a fresh install of the OS and simply get my files back via DB.
