Not sure if I would put my financial data on dropbox. They don't encrypt
your data at all.

Something similiar with a much more secure and more flexible concept is
teamdrive.net. It has end to end encryption, you can use your own
webdav server if you wish to (nevertheless 1 GB free space is included
with the free version), you can choose which directory to syncronize,
unlimited version history, etc.
