Erm... Dropbox _claims_ to encrypt your files. Yes, the DB staff may be
able to read it, it depends on the encryption method (not entirely sure, I
think they said something like AES-256 or something, maybe I'm getting
confused).

Someone correct me if I've got my info wrong!

I haven't used Dropbox, but I have created an encrypted folder on Google
Drive.  I imagine the same would work with Dropbox.
