Yes, for when you want portable virtual disks to put in places like DropBox. We don't trust drop box for sensitive/important stuff and we trust Truecrypt more.

Great for shuffling stuff to your accountant actually! And heck of a lot faster and cheaper than FedEx.

You're going to do full disk encryption, and then upload your entire disk to Drop Box? Seems kinda strange…
Answer in haste on a small screen and realize mmaro's question isn't on the top level. Bugger!

So, no is the answer and thanks for graciously pointing my mistake out and allowing me to correct. Truecrypt really is a great transport for smallish disks on an untrusted network. Whole disks on Dropbox probably = insane.
