Comment 20 for bug 375289

As an interim solution, I have been using encfs to mount my important directories on to .encrypted sub folders which I then select to be synchronized to Ubuntu One. In general this works rather well. Of course neither "locate" nor what ever indexing service "Dash" uses can find any of these files which makes those tools useless for the important files, but hopefully the real solution that is hopefully (again) being worked on, can solve this issue. (i.e. by placing and retrieving the index data for encrypted file systems on exactly those file systems.)

Unfortunately this seems to have fallen of the radar as I don't see any Ubuntu One related session in the Cloud track:

or any encryption related session on the Desktop track:

Maybe Steve Alexander could give us an update on what has happened so far and what still may need to be done.
