> UPDATE: Although Dropbox will not support ext4 filesystems that have been encrypted with ecryptfs, it will continue to support ext4 filesystems that have been encrypted with LUKS.

So, this entire article is complaining about something that isn't even true

No, just that it was originally under specified. It supports some encryption (i.e. the type it can't tell is there anyway.) It doesn't support one of the common ways of doing home directory encryption. So the article is definitely true, just more accurate with that update included. That also isn't the crux of the article's point anyway.

They still aren't supporting non-ext4 filesystems anymore.
