About Cryptomator
Cryptomator is an open source tool that encrypts your files before they go into a cloud storage folder. You keep the key, so the cloud provider cannot read the contents of the files you store there.
What it does
You create a vault, which is a folder in your cloud drive, and protect it with a password. When you unlock the vault, it appears as a virtual drive on your device. Anything you save there is encrypted automatically, and both file contents and file names are encrypted.
Key features
- Encrypts file contents and file names with AES-256
- Works with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and more
- Password-protected vaults inside any cloud folder
- Shows unlocked files as a virtual drive
- Source code published under the GPL-3.0 licence
Who it's for
- Individuals who want private documents and photos in the cloud
- Privacy-focused users who do not want to trust a provider with their keys
- Small teams that need shared encrypted folders
Pricing and good to know
The app is free to download for individuals. Hub, the product for teams, offers a free trial. Because the vault is encrypted on your device, a forgotten password cannot be recovered, so store it somewhere safe. Check which cloud services the app supports before you choose a provider.
