> Dropbox offers vast support to Linux Dropbox only supports unencrypted ext4 filesystems on Linux, so I would not use the phrase 'vast support'.

  Because there are many popular desktop options for Linux that don't use ext4 and non-encrypted as their default?

    RHEL family is XFS-centric, and quite a few distros (including Ubuntu) offer encryption in the default installer.

      ext4 on encrypted devices, such as dm-crypt/LUKS, is supported. What is not supported are encryption filesystems that are 'filesystem overlays', such as ecryptfs. (Since I was using ZFS, I am still debating whether to stay with Dropbox after November's filesystem apocalypse.)

        FYI, you can still use ecrypt fs with dropbox. Put the encrypted store within your dropbox, and mount it outside your dropbox. From the dropbox point of view, you have thousands of files with gibberish as names.
