I have issues with misplacing information while working on projects as I will work in the office, from home or from a remote terminal session. I was looking for an encrypted cloud-based system that will let met pickup work from almost the same spot I stopped (on another computer). I am also a huge fan of Notepad++ and came up with this:
Cloud Service: Google Drive
Encryption: Boxcryptor
App: Notepad++
1. install Google Drive
2. Install Boxcryptor
a. Create a free Boxcryptor account (works for up to 2 computers)
b. Specify Google Drive to use as the 'location'
c. Boxcryptor will assign a drive letter (W:, for ex.) and link Google Drive under the new drive
d. Select folders and encrypt them with Boxcryptor
3. Create a 'Notepad' folder in W:\Google Drive\ and encrypt with Boxcryptor
4. Install Notepad++
a. Settings -> Preferences -> Cloud. Point to W:\Google Drive\Notepad
b. Settings -> Preferences -> Default Directory. Point to W:\Google Drive\Notepad
c. Settings -> Preferences -> Backup Set Custom Backup Directory to W:\Google Drive\Notepad
d. restart Notepad++
5. Repeat the above on the second computer
