It actually looks like the company was OK with it. The disclosure timeline shows they were responsive and addressed the problem quickly when they were made aware of its existence.

In the post he also describes that he now uses a new process which involves a computer that has never been connected to the internet and its sole purpose is encrypting and decrypting files. Why not use it to encrypt and decrypt emails as well? That'd also potentially involve generating a new key pair.

> 3) Assume that while your computer can be compromised, it would take work and risk on the part of the NSA – so it probably isn't. If you have something really important, use an air gap. Since I started working with the Snowden documents, I bought a new computer that has never been connected to the internet. If I want to transfer a file, I encrypt the file on the secure computer and walk it over to my internet computer, using a USB stick. To decrypt something, I reverse the process. This might not be bulletproof, but it's pretty good.

Why do you think 2GB free is no-where near enough? I know a lot of users that use Dropbox's free plan and are happily syncing and sharing.

I use 7% of my 12 GB.

Remove all friends sounds malicious to me. Must say that I haven't tried the app myself.
