AFAIK, the Dropbox mobile app doesn't use SSL to transmit file
metadata, but the actual file contents are still encrypted. The
desktop client uses SSL all the time.

Also, I would appreciate it if you could point me towards some
references about their "quite a few security issues". I'm genuinely
interested to find out what they were.
