I tried this, and got multiple versions of the truecrypt volume file, filling up my Dropbox account. Pretty nasty, since I had to merge the changes of each variation back in one volume by hand.

This article resembles the recent posts about using git on Dropbox - I wonder if people actually tried this for a longer period, because it just doesn't work, unless you mount the volume only one machine simultaneously and always sync after unmounting (easy to forget after mobile use).

Yes, I took the plunge one day and put a truecrypt volume on dropbox and then put my quicken files in that truecrypt volume, and, ....

Major lossage ensued when I found dropbox gave me multiple versions of that truecrypt volume.
