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.

Are there any better alternatives for use with cloud storage?

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

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

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.
