thanks, so far they work well. There were a bunch of chinese referrals, which is fine, and there were machines still linked to the account. (if you buy one of these, make sure you unlink those accounts under Security on the website!)
also one of the accounts saids I'm using 4gb of space, but it can't be right. I'm hoping it will fix itself if I give it time.
I was able to get encfs working with OSX and Linux, as well as running two dropbox at once on both machines.
To get two dropbox instance running at the same time, start one as you would normally, and then, in linux to start the second one: HOME=$HOME/.dropbox-mte /usr/bin/dropbox start -i
... enter information, dropbox will be in $HOME/.dropbox-mte/Dropbox
in osx: run second instance from a terminal like this:
#!/bin/bash
HOME=/Users/$USER/.dropbox-alt /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox -i
then without the -i on reboot.
EncFS works out of the box
https://www.boxcryptor.com/download/ or install encfs and then
encfs ~/Dropbox/cryptociphertext ~/unencrypted
and for encfs ~/.dropbox-mte/Dropbox/cryptociphertext ~/unencrypted2
gave me two 21gb encrypted drives. (Although one said I'm using 4gb of files that aren't there right now for some reason).
Anyway, for .5 btc I'm happy. Even if I do get fucked its encrypted.
Now who is going to figure out how I can union fs these drives, that'd be awesome.
