   VeraCrypt vs TrueCrypt Comments

   Top Positive Comment by John Fastman · Nov 27, 2016

   TrueCrypt was discontinued in mysterious circumstances. The code was taken forward by VeraCrypt. It is open source and some security vulnerabilities have been fixed since the TrueCrypt days. It's a great app for creating encrypted containers or encrypting whole drives. Backwards compatible with TrueCrypt. Truly excellent software.

   Positive comment by Rick Black · Feb 15, 2018

   An almost identical interface to TrueCrypt but added security that closes a security hole in TrueCrypt.

   Positive comment by sunsuron · Dec 29, 2017

   It carries forward the classic TrueCrypt UI, which means that any TrueCrypt user can use it easily.

   Cryptomator vs TrueCrypt Comments

   Top Positive Comment by John Fastman · Dec 12, 2016

   Truecrypt is no more. Try the more updated and secure VeraCrypt. Both of those are for making an encrypted container into which files are placed. Cryptomator is different: it encrypts file-by-file (makes an encrypted version of each file). This enables you to sync/backup encrypted versions of your files to the cloud, which the TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt approach doesn't. Cryptomator thus fulfills a different need than does TC/VC.

   Positive comment by PIPT · Aug 12, 2022

   Its OpenSource and you have the complete control over it

   Positive comment by Guest · Feb 4, 2021

   There is more to say about thos software. But I want to mention one thing: Nowadays almost every one has file in the cloud they want to acces any time and any place with any device. With Cryptomator you can do this even with encrypted files. That is very practical if you want to have private documents like for instance your passport accessible everywhere.
