Uh, this is also dangerous to your security.  The truecrypt docs contain very large warnings about this[1]: someone who can see your disk at multiple versions may be able to drastically weaken your security.  If you had keys in those truecrypt files, you should rotate them; if you had secrets, consider them compromised.<p>Truecrypt uses XTS mode, which is Not Great -- it only exists because someone was trying to hammer ciphers into fitting nicely with fixed sized disk sectors, and it makes a number of serious compromises to do so.  [2] has a good discussion of this.  You do <i>not</i> want to combine XTS with sharing multiple versions of the ciphertext.<p>tl;dr you&#x27;ve seen the penguin pictures?  As [2] cleverly says, you&#x27;re pretty much doing that to yourself by sharing multiple versions of the file.<p>There&#x27;s also significantly more powerful attacks that can be mounted by an adversary that can feed you corrupted blocks which will allow them to permanently compromise your key, or perform other hijinks like manipulating your content without setting off warning bells.  Dropbox, or someone that compromises dropbox, is in that position, by nature of the service they&#x27;re providing.  These issues are rooted in the fact that XTS is not an authenticated cipher -- this leads to such an endemic <i>category</i> of subtle problems that it&#x27;s been nicknamed &quot;The Cryptographic Doom Principle&quot; [3].<p>So yeah.  If your life depends on it... don&#x27;t store a truecrypt volume in dropbox.<p>-----<p>[1] I found a mirror at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;andryou.com&#x2F;truecrypt&#x2F;docs&#x2F;how-to-back-up-securely.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;andryou.com&#x2F;truecrypt&#x2F;docs&#x2F;how-to-back-up-securely.ph...</a> -- and I&#x27;ll quote, in case that too vanishes:<p><pre><code>  &gt; IMPORTANT: If you store the backup volume in any location that
  &gt; an adversary can repeatedly access (for example, on a device kept
  &gt; in a bank’s safe deposit box), you should repeat all of the above
  &gt; steps (including the step 1) each time you want to back up the
  &gt; volume
