Not because of the security features it offers but because you can trigger the sync from the command line (I could not find a way to do this with dropbox). I'm using SpiderOak as the no-cost cloud storage for my backup.

You currently can get an installer here: TrueCrypt from GRC.COM (yes, grc.com, let's face it, it's probably clean). But you can still use it for general encryption purposes. Technically, TrueCrypt stopped existing somehow when the developers decided to stop everything. "C:\Program Files\SpiderOakONE\SpiderOakONE.exe" -batchmode -v "C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt\TrueCrypt.exe" /q /dz Robocopy "C:\Users\user\Documents" "Z:" /E /Z

They now only offer a 60 day trial or 30 GB for $7 / month. More importantly spideroak no longer offers 2 GB for free. Also the executable and location was renamed.
Spideroak cost update#
Update december 2015: SpiderOak's client is now called SpiderOakONE. Not that these files are super secret or that I'm an important target, but still this isn't stuff I just want out in the open online, so before I upload them to whatever cloud storage I want, the script encrypts them locally. I already back this up locally, but for these things I wanted to put an additional copy "in the cloud", with something like dropbox. I have a local folder where I store private documents and some other things. As a reminder to myself mostly, here's a run-down of a backup "script" I made to backup a small amount of data (< 1GB) to "the cloud".
