DropBox is not secure. I have concluded that I am going to create an encrypted container for the scripts and such, which will be in DropBox, and work on the programs from within it.

Had that idea several hours ago.

I am comfortable with their security measures - https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/27 - you should definitely switch on two-step verification - but I can understand if you are not. The downside with your approach is that the entire encrypted container will be backed up, not individual files - so not as simple to "roll back" to previous versions of a file. But that is the trade off for security.
Maybe a compromise is something like https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/dropbox - keeps individual files encrypted.

But your container approach would already give you peace of mind - you always know that all container changes are automatically backed up...
