Both, BoxCryptor and EncFS, encrypt the files by block (within a block CBC is used and you can change the block size) and not as a whole.
They also encrypt filenames by default (this can be changed), although, you're right, other metadata like timestamps etc. are not encrypted.
A better solution for encrypting Dropbox content is using BoxCryptor (Win) + EncFS (Linux + Mac). Those are file-by-file-encryption tools which encrypt each file individually. No network overhead, simultaneous access is still possible and you can use features like file versioning or undeletion.
