I just got this question from a friend:
What are people using as a replacement for encfs nowadays?

Use case would be encrypting files in a cloud storage (think: Nextcloud, OpenCloud). So you have a directory with the "plain text" files and directories" outside the Cloud storage and a directory with the encrypted files inside, synced to the cloud.

Linux laptop seems to be the main case, but being able to use the decrypted files on Android/iOS would be a plus.

AFAIK encfs was no longer maintained, the maintainer has started a port to Rust (but that is still considered alpha).
The encfs README recommends gocryptfs.

Any recommendation? Experiences?

#Linux #encfs #gocryptfs #encryption #cloud #Nextcloud #openCloud

This is a nice no-code task. It would help a lot if someone could step in and #contribute.

⏰⏰⏰ Much earlier removal of #EncFS support than planned

✍️ It will happen before #Debian 14

🚀 gocryptfs support merged into Back In Time

Local backup profiles can now use gocryptfs for encryption instead of the deprecated EncFS.

Will be included in the upcoming 1.6.0 release within in the next weeks.

Funktioniert denn #encfs (schon) auf macOS 26 (#Tahoe) ?

Mal schauen ob ich heute Zeit finde UTM macOS zu aktualisieren um das auszuprobieren.

Ups, #boxcryptor is now part of #dropbox !? Wanted to test some scenarios, but creating an new account is no longer possible.

Alternatives: #cryptomator what else? Should have an App / Software for android, ios, linux, windows.

I've been using #cryfs encrypted bare #git repositories to keep my personal repositories synced between my computers. It looks like the number of files/directories in cryfs impacts performance with bare repositories - a. #cryptomator crashed on Linux b. switching to #cryfs works fine on a single computer, but synchronization of the changed files giving me some issues.

I'm not very excited about switching to #encfs due to security issues, but I'm going to switch my bare repositories for now.

Speaking of #encryption/ #encrypted filesystems, I use the following: #cryfs #encfs (less secure, only when I have to) #cryptomator #veracrypt .

#cryptomator has cross-platfotm support, including #android (paid) and #windows (used at work).

However, it crashes handling bare git repositories for my #obsidian git upstream, so I can only use it for low traffic/file encryption.

I really like cryfs - great performance on #linux for my needs. No good UI though... 1/2...

🇫🇷 Je me tate à remplacer ma config "cloud" actuelle utilisant encfs+rsync. Particulièrement je voudrais remplacer #encfs par quelque chose de plus récent (sécurisé?), mais sans perdre en efficacité. J’ai entendu parlé de #cryptomator ou #cryfs… Quelqu’un aurait des conseils à me donner à ce propos ?

Je ne cherche pas de solution "complète" genre nextcloud ou d’autres outils e2e. En effet je transferts aussi ces fichiers sur des disques externes, d’où le besoin un peu agnostique de chiffrement.
