Despite thorough researches and testing, I have never been able to find a good alternative to Dropbox in term of seamless synchronisation of my files, and accessibility across all the platforms I use.

To secure my data, I just use BoxCryptor. It creates an encrypted volume within my Dropbox. It is free for non commercial use.

Have a look at BitTorrent Sync: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html

One advantage is that there's no third-party storage of data involved.

Thank you, will have a look.

But how big is that volume? Shouldn't then Dropbox always upload the whole volume, even if you just made one change in one file?

The volume is as big as the data it contains.
