- Install encfs
- do $mkdir ~/Dropbox/Secure ; mkdir ~/DropboxSecure
- do $ encfs ~/Dropbox/Secure ~/DropboxSecure
- I chose paranoia mode. This will use the settings below.
- Enter a secure password and there you go.
You now have a folder ‘DropboxSecure’, in which you can store your sensitive data. It will save this in ~/Dropbox/Secure/ .
You can unmount this via $ sudo umount /home/karlo/DropboxSecure #needs to be done using sudo. I guess this is a bug. After umounting, you will notice the directory DropboxSecure is still there, but empty.
Mount again by using step 3 and entering your password.
