I have started to use Dropbox, however i do have information on my mac that is required to be encrypted, to meet this requirement i have put my Dropbox in a TrueCrypt FileContainer (I have used Filevault but i found Time Machine to be a pain when Filevault was active)

I dont need the whole home folder to be encrypted, just some Documents.

I am trying to put a shortcut or link in my Dock for "Documents" which is now only present when the Truecrypt file is open. However when it cannot be found it has a black question mark over the folder, when the Documents are opened the folder works as you would expect but the question mark remains.

I have tried to add the folders to "Places" in Finder but when the container is closed the links are removed

Currently I am using a Symbolic Link inside the Documents folder to a different Documents folder. Its a little annoying.
