Dropbox is a killer cloud based file-sync utility,but it isn't without flaws.Recent reports state that an authentication bug caused anyone to log-in to your account and steal important data.
Today,I bring a fix to resolve the security problem.Follow the simple steps below:
- Download TrueCrypt from here :-
http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads - Install the program on your Hard-Disk.Once installed,launch TrueCrypt.
- Click on "Create Volume".
- Chose the default options-"Create an encrypted file container" and then "Standard TrueCrypt volume".
- Now when it asks to enter the location for the volume,browse to your Dropbox folder(C:\Users\YourUserName\Dropbox by default),and enter a name of your choice.
- Now chose a password for your TrueCrypt container.
- Hit the Format button.
- Once finished,your TrueCrypt volume is ready for use.
- Launch TrueCrypt.
- Select a drive letter.
- Click on select file,and browse to the file you created earlier in the Dropbox folder.
- Hit the mount button.
- Your virtual drive will open in the explorer,where you can paste important data.
- Once done,click on dismount in TrueCrypt.
- Your data will be synced securely to Dropbox.
