Dropbox does not claim to encrypt your data on the client side. They only claim encryption on their servers but that is not helpful in terms of encryption of your data …

In CrashPlan, you can at least set your own private key if you like. You still need to trust the provider/vendor, however, the software is at least built to do local encryption. Dropbox does not work that way.
