Dropbox and Google announced the launch of Simply Secure project to enable security technologies (such as dual licensing) easier to use.

Secure Google and Dropbox cooperation projects, So that security technology more friendly

According to reports, the existing consumer-oriented security tools, technically very effective, but the penetration rate is lower, mainly due to inconvenient to use, the average person hangs up. Also, worth mentioning is that Dropbox press release only relevant contact information seems to imply that this is not an equal partnership. However, Simply Secure project director Sara Sinclair Brody before had worked as a project manager at Google.

As to why you want to start this project because of the recent spill iCould celebrity photos and Snowden before the event. Ironically, Google and Dropbox are the United States National Security Agency Cooperation Project Prism, and before people have to Dropbox accused a plus, because they let former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joined the board, and Rice has publicly supported the Government unauthorized listening behavior.

In addition to Dropbox and Google, The Open Technology Fund, University College London, and the World Wide Web Consortium also involved in the project.
