Dropbox says they are dropping support for ecryptfs. They say support is
provided for,
* "Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 or higher, Fedora 21 or higher
o The Dropbox folder will need to be on an ext4-formatted hard drive or
partition
o Note: ecryptfs is not supported, but Dropbox will continue to sync
with supported file systems that are encrypted via full disk
encryption (e.g. LUKS)
Reference:

Am I reading this correctly, that if one encrypts a partition, as opposed to a
whole drive, that Dropbox won't work anymore?
Alternatives?
FWIW: I use Dropbox because it works across OSes, i.e., Linux, Windows, and
Droids. Files saved to the Dropbox cloud are encrypted by me before uploading.
