I don't want to store my local data only encrypted by Boxcryptor because don't want to unencrypt my data twice and I'm not 100% trusting that it didn't break. However, my Harddrive is already encrypted by Bitlocker.
#Dropbox veracrypt full
Boxcryptor-classic free has not full functionality.Ī) Boxcryptor encrypts your data locally on your harddrive - FFS to copy the data to any server. The boxcryptor-classic license is not longer available, so you have to pay an monthly subscription to use the pro-functions. Filename encryption is pro-function and no folder-tree obfuscation. But I have to throw in my two cents to let them know that some users really like to have this feature (and with good/not-so-bad reasons). I understand there could be other reasons why they've been very reluctant to even consider implement an encryption feature. I don't really expect this single post to change the developers' mind. Just want my files on the cloud encrypted so Internet bullies (personal or corporate) can't easily get me. I'm not worried about local unencrypted files (my hard disk is encrypted). I'm not looking for anti-NSA level encryption. What I wish to have is something that combines the existing good features of FreeFileSync and CryptSync (basically 7-Zip). These limitations gets irritating over the time. It has bad deleted/moved file detection (no database like "sync.ffs_db") and a very limited filter. Then what's the problem? - CryptSync has very limited file syncing features.
#Dropbox veracrypt portable
Also 7-Zip has a portable version (from ).
#Dropbox veracrypt archive
I can open it on any computer with a file archive software. Best of all, it's highly portable, because it uses 7-Zip to encrypt and archive. Using this tool, I can have a local unencrypted copy and an encrypted copy in Dropbox, so it's easy to work with. One exception: CryptSync (the one I'm currently using) PORTABILITY!!! If I want to access some files in my encrypted folder on Dropbox from a friend's computer, it'd be a big hassle using one of these utilities. For example, the ones listed in these two links: Almost all other file / cloud encryption utilities. I cannot download individual encrypted files, nor can I utilize file version history feature of Dropbox. I could use a container, but having more than 3GB of encrypted data, such a container is basically unmanageable on the cloud.
But by design it cannot encrypt my files on the Dropbox server. Full disk/system encryption, smooth integration, minimal footprint, good security. I use VeraCrypt, and it's fantastic at what it does.
I'll start by listing some great encryption utilities and why unfortunately they don't quite work for this purpose. HOWEVER, I still think there's good reason to include encryption in FreeFileSync, especially for encryption on cloud storage. There are software out there that are far better on encryption than FreeFileSync can reasonably become in near future. If badly done, a false sense of security for inexperience users could be worse than no encryption at all. Zenju has argued that encryption is better handled by other specialized software, and they have a valid point. I am well aware of the developers' position on this issue. The topic of encryption has appeared in multiple posts on this forum.
