I use Dropbox as for storage and synchronization.

I link unprivate things (like source code) directly to a Dropbox folder.

Private things, like my documents, and home directory, etc. I use duplicity to encrypt and store in a Dropbox folder. I run this command on a regular basis.

For photos I mount an ecrypted direct using encfs.

I additionally have a script that mounts an encrypted USB device and uses rsync to copy directories to it. This includes most private things stored on Dropbox, but not pictures, and not things which are publically stored elsewhere. (Though as USB sizes increas I get more lenient in my filtering).
