Cryptomator
What it's for
A vault that encrypts your files before uploading them to any cloud, even Google Drive or Dropbox.
Why it matters
The perfect trick if you must keep an existing cloud: you keep the convenient service, but the provider only sees encrypted gibberish. You alone hold the key.
For whom & when
Those who can’t leave a mainstream cloud yet, but want to protect their files right now.
Install & use
- Install Cryptomator (desktop and mobile) from cryptomator.org.
- Create a “vault” in your cloud’s synced folder, choose a strong password.
- Put your files in the vault: they’re encrypted then synced automatically.
