To not want DC medical info saved in Dropbox

[Orangefruitbrush]

Recently discovered DH is taking a photo of DC's medical correspondence on his phone - phone backs up his photos to Dropbox automatically.

I understand his reasoning - he wants to have a record of the correspondence, in case we lose the original letter. DC has some complex medical stuff going on and we have had a negative experience before, of an NHS admin error when one of DC referrals was lost in the system.

But I feel uncomfortable about having DC personal medical information on Dropbox...and feel like he should have checked with me first - aibu?

What specifically are your grounds for feeling uncomfortable? What would be an acceptable position for you? As long as DH is sensible with password management and privacy settings this wouldn’t bother me, and it’s the sort of thing I would do myself tbh

It probably doesn't help that I gave DC a quite unique name - if DC was called John Smith I'd feel better about potential data leaks.

Honestly, I think you are being a bit unreasonable. It sounds like DH is actually being rather sensible. Does he really need your permission to make choices for his own child. I wouldn’t even think twice about something like this.

What would the consequence of a data leak be for your DC? Genuine question, I’d like to understand your concern

At work some clients choose Dropbox to send very sensitive information to their legal team. With a decent password (that isn't written down on a post it note by the computer) it's pretty secure.
