I will only come back to Dropbox when I can have client-side encryption.

- diafygi 12y agoI'm confused, can't Dropbox still read your files?
- kalmi10 12y agoOne could (in theory) use Dropbox to store the encrypted ~/.Private directory. For example by making it a symlink pointing into the Dropbox directory. And it could be auto-mounted using the Encrypted Private feature at ~/Private. It would probably work very well as ecryptfs only does file-by-file encryption, and thus Dropbox can efficiently track changes.
- kitd 12y agoI use CryptSync on Windows to auto-encrypt/decrypt files between a folder outside and a folder inside my DropBox area. It uses 7z under the hood which is OK for most uses. https://code.google.com/p/cryptsync/ https://code.google.com/p/cryptsync/
