My friend is looking to put some "financial" records up on Dropbox in a way that they can't be compromised. He acts as a pseudo-admin for a local church and, though he hasn't said so, it's possible some of these records may be for them. I know in the past he has had to deal with a combination of MAC / Windows environments for his administration, so I felt this was an un-stated requirement, which the AESCrypt web site seems to cover. He has barely tinkered with Linux so far, and I doubt he could convince the church (if they are in fact a part of this issue) to change operating systems.
