Hmm, does sparse bundle work well with TrueCrypt? Any consistency issues when sync'ing with Dropbox?

- toomuchtodo 13y agoI didn't use a sparse bundle, just a TrueCrypt container. It uses the full space allocated on disk, and I've rarely had an issue (1-2 times over 4 months) with Dropbox syncing.
- guiambros 13y agoThanks. I research more, and seems that TrueCrypt still does not support sparse bundle, so that's still a no go. The only option is to do what you did, sharing a full container. But if you have a big container (say, 1GB or so), it has the drawback of re-syncing the file back-and-forth. And if you have multiple devices (including mobile, etc), this would easily became a nightmare. That's a bummer. I love TrueCrypt for local encryption of filesystems and containers, but I wish I could use as a lightweight, on-the-fly, encryption of files. Particularly dropbox and other cloud-based storage.
