no can do. even with v3 off, v2 doesn't open (even though the icon sits in the menu bar)

Process:         Espionage [42375]
Path:            /Applications/Espionage-2.app/Contents/MacOS/Espionage
Identifier:      com.taoeffect.Espionage
Version:         2.8.13 (2.8.13)
Code Type:       X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process:  launchd [324]

Di I have to restore it first, or is there a manual uninstall?

Correct. The problem boils down to this: I want encryption on my MacBook pro only. Not in the cloud (unless provided by the cloud service itself).

Sorry. The protocol (not "you") suggests never updating the Dropbox folder from another non-esp3 device.
I'll run a test folder to check results.

We are not understanding each other, I think.

It's not just passive backup that I want with Dropbox.
I want to access files, and add files to folders, and delete files, and share files, from multiple desktops and mobile devices.
If the given folder in dropbox (or the whole dropbox account) is encrypted as an image, it would not be viewable, much less able to be added to or deleted from, without vEsp3 installed on the current device, correct?  If so, then I have no further need for espy because to use it is to give up on the current functionality of Dropbox.

Espionage 3 / v3 with dropbox

Just read through the protocol and dire warnings on using espionage v3 with Dropbox.

What if I (definitely) do not want to run espionage on all of the 6 machines (macs and PCs) that sync from my Dropbox account?

If I have to run espionage everywhere, AND, be certain to unlock the folder (namely the whole ^%$# 100GB dropbox) ONLY when it is fully synced and locked on all other machines, then dropbox loses most of its fail-safe, idiot-proof backup utility.

Oh, Mamma, can this really be . . .  the end?
