In the article the author mentions alternatives to Dropbox. All of them are client applications I think, but at least one of them generates the passwords and encryption locally so that the server has no access to the content of your files.

If you want to run an Apache server on your own machine you could certainly store files there and completely control access to them. I know that's not "like Dropbox", but it would give you access to your files from any internet-connected device.
