Comment on Dropbox Lied to Users about Data Security, Complaint to FTC Allegesparent

My personal workaround for this is to use Dropbox to store encrypted filesystem images that I can mount on my machine. This severely limits the usefulness and performance of the service, but has turned out to work reasonably well.

Precisely this. Encfs is particularly good for this if you're on a unix-y environment. Otherwise, TrueCrypt might fit the bill (though concurrent access from several machines can be an issue)
