BTW, another great product from the same developers have recently become available:

It's called Filosync and is like Dropbox but secure and with your own (or with Amazon) servers. Check out http://www.filosync.com/ for more information. And be warned, it's pricey!

My personal solution is to use the free Boxcryptor Classic [1] on top of Dropbox. I've actually replaced my entire Documents folder with a link symlink to its version in my Boxcryptor instance (something I was leery of doing directly in Dropbox, for privacy reasons). So now I get transparent encryption and sync on both of my computers. It's been working amazingly for about 6 months now.

I did a test with BoxCryptor last year and was not too pleased. For enterprise use with the necessary master key, it's expensive too, and you still have the disadvantages of Dropbox. On the other hand, if you are a Dropbox user and willing to pay for BoxCryptor, the solution works flawlessly.

What do you mean by the disadvantages of Dropbox?

Also, keep in mind that Boxcryptor and Boxcryptor Classic are two different products. If sharing files in an encrypted way with other people or having a master key is part of your use case, Boxcryptor Classic is not a great choice. But if you just need a way to store your own files in the cloud, with seamless sync between machines, and without privacy concerns, Boxcryptor Classic has worked very well for me.
