  • Syncthing: Untrusted Device Encryption
    I'm looking to improve my documents syncing setup. Currently I'm using owncloud, but that seems overkill for just files syncing and it requires maintenance, so I gave Syncthing a look. The "Untrusted device encryption" was not appealing to me because I'm not convinced by the security aspects yet, and also because it is in beta for now. I used gocryptfs [1] in the past and was quite happy with it, so I'm planning... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Enigma: A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
    A comparison gocryptfs would be appreciated, since this software, at first glance, has no differentiating features from it. https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Dropbox Buys Boxcryptor
    Gocryptfs is another option. https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Why is VeraCrypt no longer supported by voidlinux?
    If you'd like something similar to Tomb but in userspace, perhaps you'd prefer gocryptfs? It's also in void repos. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is there a way to password protect a folder?
    Not sure about your use case, but I personally use gocryptfs : https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Help with Encryption
    I used to use EncFS. Now replaced with gocryptFS. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Minimal File Storage and Access
    Cryptomator looks really cool! It only encrypts files and uploads them individually on any change from what I see. By looking through software similar to Cryptomator and using that new search term you gave me, 'client side encryption,' though, I found CryFS and GoCryptFS, which look like maybe even better solutions because they are able to hide the number of files and the directory structure, as well as...

  • Do any synology devices support a zero knowledge private shares?
    My preferred method is gocryptfs. I wouldn't say it is zero knowledge because it's file based encryption and the file sizes are visible. If you want to hide that as well, I would combine it with rclone's chunking feature. You could actually use rclone's encryption feature as well if you wanted to do it all within a single software package. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Best wallet for Android in terms of privacy?
    I use gocryptfs with the android client droidfs to store sensitive documents. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Tool that let's encrypt a file in memory as you download it [Linux]
    Check out gocryptfs, it's a fuse filesystem that you mount on any folder you want (like ~/Downloads if you so desire) and anything you store in it gets transparently encrypted. Source: over 2 years ago
  • end-to-end encrypted sync of folders?
    Https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs (especially with the reverse mode) + https://syncthing.net. Source: over 2 years ago
  • [Android+Linux] Encryption before sync
    As for Linux, something like gocryptfs can offer a decent solution. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Encrypt files before storing in the cloud.
    Then, there is DroidFS which creates a Gocryptfs vault. You use the app to access the decrypted files and the encrypted files are stored on the phone's storage/sdcard. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Dropbox is not secure
    I recommend something along the lines of gocryptfs, cryfs or cryptomator. Source: about 3 years ago
