Comment on EncFS Security Auditparent

GnuPG can encrypt files and is more secure.

GnuG can not encrypt files while working on the decrypted files in parallel, can it? That is what I would mean with "working good with Dropbox".

That's also what I mean. If I have to think about the encryption during day-to-day operation, the encryption has failed. That's why I <3 full disk encryption: it seamlessly works.

Dropbox will sync the files in plaintext if you use full disk encryption.

If TC + Dropbox is not an option, maybe owncloud + private hosting +SSL certs should be used instead... OR SSHFS with private keys.

Yeah, I too, though it does not help with things like Dropbox. You need to add a second encryption inside your full disk encryption separately for everything that has direct access to the files. And that is exactly where encfs shines (even though I also use it for home, but that is a different story).
