gnome-encfs integrates EncFS folders into the GNOME desktop by storing their passwords in the keyring and optionally mounting them at login using GNOME's autostart mechanism. gnome-encfs allows you to use strong passwords for EncFS folders while still mounting them painlessly (i.e. no password prompt). This is an advantage over automount solutions like pam-encfs and pam-mount which require to use the same password for EncFS folders as for your local user account. This is bad because local account passwords usually are weaker than those one should use for encrypting online stored data, e.g. in a Dropbox.
