Encryption of data in the cloud

For those using onedrive/google drive/dropbox etc, are any of you storing or using truecrypt containers or equivalent?

I'm looking for a vendor that could support big files - e.g. 8gb file.

I'm looking for a vendor that could do just block level updates of the online file, versus full re-upload.

If there are better ways people are doing encryption that is independent of the cloud vendor, I'd be interested too.

I'm not sure I trust boxcryptor - as source is closed.

thanks

    7zip, password protected, split into chunks.
    Not ideal for your needs, but for my 'long term archiving' requirements, fits OK.

  • Portable drives are getting cheaper all the time.

    What sizes do you need?

    Much faster and cheaper than the cloud. Wouldn't trust the cloud period. Every encryption will and can be cracked eventually, just takes time, once you upload they've got the file and can start working on it. Can just imagine bitcoin rigs later being used to then crack encryptions and charging by the hour - might make more money than bitcoin trading.

    Apparently NSA have backdoors in most algos now anyways. Well maybe except TrueCrypt but there was rumours about it, perhaps spread by NSA themselves ;-p deter people from using it.
