They say support is provided for, <ul> <li>"Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 or higher, Fedora 21 or higher</li> <ul> <li>The Dropbox folder will need to be on an ext4-formatted hard drive or partition</li> <li>Note: ecryptfs is not supported, but Dropbox will continue to sync with supported file systems that are encrypted via full disk encryption (e.g. LUKS)</li> </ul> </ul> Reference: <blockquote><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/system-requirements">https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/system-requirements</a> short url: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://is.gd/cwfR4w">https://is.gd/cwfR4w</a> </blockquote> Am I reading this correctly, that if one encrypts a partition, as opposed to a whole drive, that Dropbox won't work anymore? Alternatives? FWIW: I use Dropbox because it works across OSes, i.e., Linux, Windows, and Droids. Files saved to the Dropbox cloud are encrypted by me before uploading. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="78">-- Roger <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:linux.rog@gmail.com">linux.rog@gmail.com</a></pre> </body> </html>
