Encfs
From wikinotes
encfs is a cross platform virtual filesystem that allows you to mount/decrypt directories.
Useful for encryption over network shares, or sharing secrets within dropbox.
WARNING:
encfs is being infrequently/community maintained.
The author hints at using newer alternative like ecryptfs or gocryptfs.
NOTE:
Keep backups of your .encfs6.xml files. Without them, your backups are useless.
