When we upload to the cloud(dropbox) our files are stored to multiple servbers around the world?

[McLovin]

Could do, as far as I know they are all store in one place and that place is America.

Are our perosnal files(photos) really safe stored in those cloud servers or they are accessed by others?

They are stored and are safe, only you and the people that you let can access them.

[Nikos]

Are you sure they dont disclose information to 3rd party companies?

Nothing can be sure except Death, Nikos...

Any time you give something to somebody else to watch over, you're taking a risk.

Your files are only as safe as the companies security measures are.

You can take steps such as encrypting your files, but if you plan on sharing them, anyone you share them with would need your key to decrypt them.

As with anything computer oriented, usability reduces security.

If you are unsure about using Dropbox, don't use it at all
