Install EncFS and use it on your Dropbox. No account, no binary blobs needed. You can compile all the bits for EncFS yourself, if you want.

  That's more like it :)

  TrueCrypt would work too - it has block level encryption and Drobox syncs on block level too.

    Hmmm, I wonder if TrueCrypt adequately secures a hidden volume's existence from an attacker (Dropbox) who can watch the patterns of your block level writes?

      It's content encryption app, not Rubberhose File System or similar.

  This works, and works well. I had a little trouble getting it to run on one of my older Mac OSX machines, but I'm pretty sure that was because I had the remains of a previous installation of MacFUSE messing things up - There's also a MacOSX/iOS/Android/Windows commercial "wrapper" around EncFS which is fully compatible with the compiled-from-source versions of EncFS I've got running on Mac OSX and Linux (ARM and x86) - it's a "binary blob", but if your security/convenience tradeoff lets you consider that, have a look at BoxCryptor Classic: https://www.boxcryptor.com/boxcryptor-classic https://www.boxcryptor.com/boxcryptor-classic For me, the tradeoff of having secured/encrypted files available on iOS is worth the decrease in security by relying on Secomba GmbH not backdooring me at the request of the NSA or ASIO (my local security agency) – or anybody further down the security agency or law enforcement foodchain. I'm not actually trying to protect myself against targeted surveillance by any sufficiently powerful nation-state, but I feel good about knowing I'm not quite so readily caught up in "dragnet" surveillance…
