👍 Just discovered this behavior after the fact, and I feel pretty violated. Even looking just now, I couldn't find anywhere in the docs that mention that this program uploads private keys by default—I certainly don't consider them "pure configuration files". Glad to see you're sold on the idea of making it non-default (#512), but please at least note this behavior in the main README and mackup -h until it's implemented.

Other than that, this is an awesome utility!

👍 Not clearly and prominently detailing in the main documentation that such sensitive information as a user's .ssh folder would automatically be synced to Dropbox—regardless of whether or not the user's private keys were password-protected—is incredibly careless.

Please omit this default behaviour or, at a minimum, include a prominent disclaimer in the README file.

I've now had to void my private key twice because of the auto sync. I really like Mackup but don't this is a sensible default.
