> For those still looking for securing your files and projects within Dropbox, there is a program called Boxcryptor that is made specifically to encrypt DropBox folders & files. I’ve been using it for about a year and it works seamlessly with Dropbox.
> 
> It doesn’t create a whole crypted volume like TrueCrypt, instead it encrypts the files themselves. Thus you only need to sync the files that are changed, instead of a single volume.
> 
> I just switched to Scrivener early this week, and so far it has worked well syncing between my desktop and laptop. No project corruption yet 🙂 (I’m still on the trial).
