Hi,
I collaborate with myself via dropbox and encfs. encfs does the
encryption, (via an encrypted fuse filesystem) and dropbox syncs the
encrypted files.
I use it for linux, but it should also work for mac and windows. If i
need to, i can access the files on android using the encfs plugin (who's
name i cannot remember).
I have written a script that i run in my bashrc that auto-mounts the
encrypted dropbox folder for me. It also auto-detects dropbox
conflicts and helps resolve those with encfs.
https://github.com/timoc/encfsbox
I have been using this solution for a few years without it giving too
much trouble :)
Tim.
