  • Works with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Nextcloud and any other cloud storage service which synchronizes with a local directory
  • Totally transparent: Just work on the virtual drive as if it were a USB flash drive
  • AES encryption with 256-bit key length

  • Folder structure gets obfuscated
  • Use as many vaults in your Dropbox as you want, each having individual passwords

Excellent app for encrypting files. I used it with an external USB disk that has to go between a Windows 7 PC and an iMac with the latest macOS. It wasn't easy to find an app that would work nicely with both, but in the end Cryptomator v1.5.17 on Win7 and v1.15.9 on macOS 15 was the best solution.

Yay. As of v1.6.5, the developer is providing an ARM version of Cryptomator, making it compatible with all M1 processors. It still has an option requiring abandoned MacFUSE. But you can work around it and use WebDAV instead. The documentation of their $10 iOS app is essentially nonexistent. But they're supposedly working on it, despite the app being 4 years old. (o_0) ...Time will tell. I upped its stars to three.

NOT M1 Mac ready. It runs, but it wants to use MacFUSE, which is inert on M1 Macs. AND MacFUSE has been *abandoned* by Google in any case! As such, Cryptomator is significantly useless on M1 Macs. Unless they have plans to rewrite it for ARM, you might as well toss it. - - It should still work fine on Intel Macs.

Rejected my password twice. Then out of nowhere accepted it. Unacceptable for an encryptor.

it's not a mac application. No menu in the menu bar. Very buggy and preference menus opening makes the application unresponsive if a vault is open
