VeraCrypt vs Cryptomator Comments
Cryptomator encrypts single files and is a good choice for Cloud Sync.
Veracrypt creates virtual encrypted drives that are not a good choice for Cloud Sync.
Veracrypt provides superior security and is a better choice for local encryption, but Cryptomator is designed to be far more convenient for usage on cloud storage, encrypting each file individually. Use Veracrypt for local storage or if you plan on uploading one fixed archive to the cloud. Use Cryptomator for most cloud applications.

Veracrypt is a program for creating an encrypted container in which you can hide files protected by various encryption algorithms. It is excellent and extremely useful, but not for syncing files to the cloud because files you change inside the veracrypt container won't be seen to change by an external sync program. Veracrypt addresses a different need to Cryptomator.
