A great feature of OSX is the Apple Disk Image. [1] It lets you have a single file, with AES-256 encryption, that can be mounted and then used as a disk (put files on it, create folders etc). Perfect for keeping anything sensitive in Dropbox, such as passwords, statements from your bank etc etc. Even if your account gets compromised and the file gets copied, your data is safe.

- mike-cardwell 16y agoThe article mentions TrueCrypt, which is a better option for people who are using multiple platforms. However, neither TrueCrypt nor Apple Disk Image are appropriate for people who need to access their Dropbox files from their Android phone, which is what the article discusses.
