I love Dropbox from a usability point of view, but unfortunately the missing encryption is the main reason why it's not an option for me right now. I'd like to also be able to backup sensitive data, but I don't trust the Dropbox employees with access to my data.
Instead, I'm currently using Wuala which encrypts the data diretly on the client. An alternative to Wuala seems to be SpiderOak, which also features client side encryption (but I didn't try this one yet).
- jemfinch 16y agoDropbox has native clients, right? There seems to be no technical reason why they don't already have encryption.
- jallmann 16y agoTry Tarsnap, which was purpose-built for secure data storage. The founder is a regular here on HN.
- zcid 16y agoI just store a TrueCrypt container on my Dropbox. It's a little clunky if you need to dismount/mount it a lot, but if your system is on 24/7 then it isn't really noticeable.
