![]() Still leaning toward Cryptomator for mobile. Will check out that rclone Android client. ![]() the Java bloatware that is Cryptomator, and compared to Boxcryptor, it's 100% free and not barely usable limited freemium (unless you pay up, the latter is only 1 provider and 2 devices for free, srsly? -_-') One argument in favor of rclone would be that it's relatively lightweight vs. Only automation seems to speak for rclone/rsync in that case, albeit that could also be achieved by having website backups/drm files on a desktop folder that is synced with the cloud and having that folder encrypted using said:ġ) Yes, use the crypt backend mentioned to encrypt/decrypt on the flyĢ) Indeed sounds like a good use case for rclone.ģ) I haven't used it myself but it seems there is an rclone Android client supporting crypt: / I guess for that case I would then use Cryptomator/Boxcryptor, correct?ĭo you agree, or would you change anything? What would be the downside of using one of the GUI tools for all (Cryptomator or Boxcryptor)? Given that it seems that the GUI tools can handle Windows and Linux and Android (phone) just fine, but rclone/rsync is somewhat limited to CLI/Linux in that regard. Probably a case for rsync/rclone, too.ģ) At last, there are some sensitive/important documents I want to encrypt, but also view (and perhaps even edit) on the go. I would also like to encrypt these folders/files. If I understood you correctly I can just encrypt my files on my Windows 10 Rig (with WSL or VMBox ZorinOS and rsync/rclone) and then send them to GDrive (also via CLI), correct?Ģ) I also backup DRM-free games I get from GOG and/or Steam to Koofr cloud, so I still have the (installation) files whenever I need them. Seems like rclone/rsync will be a good fit here. That sheds a bit more light about your questions regarding Hetzner, thoughġ) For one, I have website/wordpress backups that I would like to encrypt for security reasons. Considering all this, it seems like I have different use cases for encryption anyway. Of course one can't have the cake and eat it too. Of course one can't have the cake and eat it said: Would I still be able to view encrypted files on my Android phone with rcloneĪs an aside, this is where I was trying to figure out things with Hetzner's new storage box pricing (which is quite attractive) - since it gives you all the benefits of ZFS (minus encryption) without actually having to manage it. Gives you everything you need including (immutable) snapshots and relatively quick syncs/updates.Īs an aside, this is where I was trying to figure out things with Hetzner's new storage box pricing (which is quite attractive) - since it gives you all the benefits of ZFS (minus encryption) without actually having to manage it. When you start hitting serious volumes though, nothing comes close to rsync (batched) on an (encrypted) ZFS backend. For routine backups, I just use borg(backup) (encrypted) which gives me everything I need for serious DR. ![]() ![]() I don't use cryptomator because for me shell is where I (mostly) live. to protect me from my own stupidity at the storage layer), I use rclone to save encrypted files on GDrive/OneDrive. In those cases where I want a dont-worry-about-storage type of (failsafe) backup (esp. since it is a single tool that works with all kinds of different backends.įor my use cases, I prefer rsync for automation when I control the storage backend (which is 95% of my use case). OTOH, if you're looking at automating backups to the cloud or otherwise storing sensitive data in a reasonably automated fashion like cron (etc.) rclone is THE tool for you esp. If your primary need is to view encrypted files and interact as a "user" with GDrive/OneDrive etc., then rclone may not be the right tool. Think of rclone as more of a automation/scriptable tool rather than something that is "UI" based. You will of course need to know the password (in case you encrypt). I think there are rclone "clones" for Android that give you equivalent functionality. ![]() Said: Would I still be able to view encrypted files on my Android phone with rclone ![]()
