With TrueCrypt I can create an entire volume and put files into there. However with regards to syncing on other devices or the cloud, this become problematic because if one file changes bam, everything has to be uploaded. Also many services do not handle gigabyte sized files at well, or at all. Is there a software that can
- Encrypts my files individually, not volumes.
- Allows me to access these files un-hindered on my device, once I have unlocked the device with a key or passcode. For example with truecrypt, once it is mounted I have complete/direct access to my files
- Allows me to access the files just as un-hindered on other devices the same one (it isn't baked into the OS or anything only).
- Similar to number 1., the files are actually encrypted wherever they are stored, be it on a device or in the cloud.
- The private keys which are generated are mine, they are not generated by an application which could potentially connect to the internet and "leak" them. I think there are some dropbox-esq applications out there for encryption but I do not feel secure with their guarantees.

1Whats wrong with a TrueCrypt container? We really are not the place to request a list possible solutions. Your requirements are pretty specific. – Ramhound – 2013-06-28T14:04:32.433
First sentance covers the con of TC volumes. And this this question isn't too specific. How is a secure solution specific? With all of the PRISM stuff going on (very relevant) we can see first hand that conglomerate "privacy" software is potentially rigged and unsecured. The idea that the application which generates your private keys is network connected to a central server is not secure. As for the second point, yes Ramhound... any question which involves enumerating software is often voted to closed here. Usually without considering the actual content of the question. – Zombies – 2013-06-28T15:23:59.200
1When you used the word "volume" I assumed you mean encrypting an entire parition not using a Truecrypt container which is a single file to the host operating system. – Ramhound – 2013-06-28T16:06:51.690
