Backing up and encrypting your files using Dropbox and Truecrypt

Dropbox is a really easy-to-use and free program for backing up your files. You can also use it on multiple computers (office, home, laptop etc.) to keep your files synced to the latest version across machines. If you need to keep the files secure and confidential, you can use Truecrypt to create an encrypted container (like a folder) that only you can access. By placing your Truecrypt container in your Dropbox, you can keep confidential documents secure and always available when you need them. This video is aimed at beginners. There are more advance options available for both Dropbox and Truecrypt but I chose to exclude them fo rthe sake of simplicity.
