Not enough to make a difference (speaking as someone who works for a
Dropbox competitor -- one of my coworkers spent some time poking through
the Dropbox code).  Also, Dropbox's goal is a bit different because you
can't run the client without Dropbox's server.

At my company, we don't even care enough to put a minimal bit of
protection in -- you need our servers, and our code isn't particularly
clever.
