Hi, I collaborate with myself via dropbox and encfs. encfs does the encryption, (via an encrypted fuse filesystem) and dropbox syncs the encrypted files.
I use it for linux, but it should also work for mac and windows. If i need to, i can access the files on android using the encfs plugin (who's name i cannot remember). I have written a script that i run in my bashrc that auto-mounts the encrypted dropbox folder for me. It also auto-detects dropbox conflicts and helps resolve those with encfs. https://github.com/timoc/encfsbox I have been using this solution for a few years without it giving too much trouble :) Tim.
