Is there a way to encrypt files before being sent to Bittorrent sync, either via a plugin, or by encrypting the files first?

Also do you trust Bittorrent Sync's encryption?

Not sure if this is the proper place for it, but you certainly can encrypt files before moving them into a folder, for example with CryptSync (No affiliation, but open-source and based on 7zip)

as for trusting Bittorrent Sync's encryption, not in particular (I prefer open-source stuff), but I feel reasonably safe using it since it can be configured to be local-only, and securing local connections is certainly doable.

edit: now that Sync is out of beta, getting it to work in a local-only way is exceedingly tedious and difficult, and I can no longer recommend it
