    Picocrypt vs Cryptomator Comments

    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.

    Speed and file system compatibility are excellent. Security and reverse mode are top notch.

    Basically Windows version of Gocryptfs, which is one of the best alternative for EncFS. Cppcryptfs is in early stage of development (as of 2021) though.
