I use a Mac with an encrypted hard drive. I've a lot of videos in a directory "videos", which I backed up using encfs to Google Drive. Since I don't want to encrypt the "videos" directory on my hard drive itself again, I decided to use reverse encryption. This uploaded the encrypted files to Google Drive. encfs --reverse videos/ ~/Google\ Drive/drive/ If I'd sync the contents from Google Drive now to the hard drive of a second computer, would I be able to decrypt it, since the .encfs6.xml file was created in the "videos" directory and this file doesn't get synced to Google Drive.
