Encrypting Dropbox

One of the strong points of Encfs is that it does not reserve a lot of valuable space. This makes it suitable for encrypting Dropbox content. There is no such thing as 100% security in the cloud, so remember that some things simply do not belong there.
Keeping that in mind - we create a folder under ~/Dropbox that we call encrypted and we create a mount point that we call Dropbox_unencrypted. We can create the directories manually or let enfcs auto generate them:

encfs ~/Dropbox/encrypted ~/Dropbox_unencrypted 

Just like under any first time run you accept the creation of the directories with a "y" -twice and pick "p" for paranoid mode. Then you enter the password.
