If you're worried about "user experience" I don't think this type of hacking is for you.

> the folder itself is backed by Dropbox, so I don't have to worry about losing it all forever.

History and this very thread should show you how this is a naive statement.

I'm ranting on and on about the 4th amendment and right to privacy and your conclusion is I wish I didn't contribute to the surveillance state first?
