Encrypt file while uploading to Dropbox

I want to create an app that encrypts a file while uploading it to Dropbox. The original file is saved to the local computer. Thus, a user can edit the original files and then sync up with the encrypted file in Dropbox.

 

Is this possible?

    Sure, you can upload whatever data you want to Dropbox using the API. The Dropbox API doesn't know or need to know if you've encrypted the data.
