I'm surprised that there isn't a "cloud encryption" software available yet. It shouldn't be a complex project to encrypt & rename -> upload // download -> decrypt & rename. You could store the original file names in the cloud in an encrypted sqlite database or something.


Here you go: https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/boxcryptor-classic

It's an offline application that runs on your computer that is transparent to your actions. You just use the drive BC mounts instead of where Dropbox tells you to use, the rest automatic.


Well, there's git annex.

  git annex initremote mycloudbox type=S3 encryption=my@gpg-email.com datacenter=EU
  git annex copy --to=mycloudbox myfile
  git annex whereis myfile
   whereis myfile (2 copies)
  	(...) -- here
        (...) -- mycloudbox
   ok
It also provides a nice Web UI (hosted locally) with colorful buttons, if that's your thing.
