I have found quite a few people recommend this, and never understood the point - if all you want is a "cloud" backup of your opaque data, simply use tarsnap. cheap, easy, brilliant piece of engineering. Or heck, use backblaze with their unlimited storage plan! The trouble with building a truecrypt volume inside GDrive/Dropbox etc is that this makes the data completely opaque to the service. You give up all integration with google docs, easy sharing via links, collaboration, everything. Why use these services at all if you don't need the features they provide over and above basic backup?
