Hello,

I’m just posting this as a warning to anyone using Cryptomator for serious stuff. I’ve been using it in not-very-critical stuff for some years now and the reality is that I’ve had data loss on multiple occasions under Windows.

I had two major incidents:

  • After creating a vault in Google Drive (via Cyberduck) it worked fine for some time but eventually the vault was empty;
  • Long file names seem to f*k something and the files simply vanish after opening the vault a few times.

If you google “cryptomator data loss” there are a LOT of complaints and frankly I’ll ditch it now.

      Why people try to find another software alternatives instead of the use of the best and practice:

      The GPG!

      Works flawless for years.

        GPG is great, but is there an android tool to easily unlock your files? I know there is the GPG agent on the desktop but nothing came up when I looked it up for android

      I’m not going to “vote” for a solution, but I know Cryptomator is weak and it fails. For me Veracrypt is the only solution I trust but that isn’t cloud compatible.

      gocryptfs is quite nice, but I haven’t found an iOS client yet. On Android there is DroidFS at least.
