cryfs-dropbox

CryFS is a cryptographic software for Cloud storage, it allow make encrypted volumes and uploaded to Dropbox, Drive , etc. For more info: https://www.cryfs.org/

This is a basic script to automount CryFS with Dropbox. It can mount existing volumes and also create new ones. It automount the volume at every user login (~/.config/autostart/cryfs-dropbox.desktop).

It's has been tested with Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa (probably it works with Debian/Ubuntu based distributions that use Gnome).
