    VeraCrypt vs Cryptomator Comments

    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.

    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.

    Rclone offers encryption, as well as Cryptomator, PLUS can sync your files with the cloud so there is no need to install proprietary cloud sync clients.

    Rclone is not an alternative to cryptomator. Rclone just transfers the files between local and cloud, and does not concern itself about encryption of the files on either ends. It just syncs and transfers the files properly and securely.

    Picocrypt is more suited to encrypting individual files for local storage, not for encrypting groups of files for cloud storage like Cryptomator. Both are excellent applications, with different use cases.

    If you intend to use Cryptomator for encrypting just a few files locally, Picocrypt may be superior.

    CryptSync is a small utility that synchronizes two folders while encrypting the contents in one folder. That means one of the two folders has all files unencrypted (the files you work with) and the other folder has all the files encrypted.

    Pretty good user experience, but still, Android is not a good platform to use encryption and mounted drives without screaming at least once.
