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AFAIK encfs was no longer maintained, the maintainer has started a port to Rust (but that is still considered alpha).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