We need a plugin that automatically encrypts everything before it goes to the cloud and then decrypts it when we download. So when the subpoena start to rain our data is safe regardless of what Microsoft or Dropbox are forced to do by the gov

for those that took the point: I meant an extra level of encryption, just in case there's a backdoor on the default one.
Keeping a truecrypt container (with built-in hidden container, naturally) synched with dropbox is quite easy.
Does this require unmounting the TC volume for releasing the file system lock on its container and letting for the sync to happen? Or does Dropbox know how to use Shadow Copying now?
On unmount, unfortunately. It's a bit of a pain, but it ends up working for me because I keep any TC volumes unmounted unless I'm directly working with their contents.
