I think similar issues would occur with Veracrypt or Truecrypt. Similarly I don't think you'd be able to use the file versioning feature of some cloud providers. Now if you want to recover just one of them, you'll need to download all 20, and open them in the unencrypted container to see the actual filenames. Let's say you backup 20 files online, the filenames will be scrambled. I think this feature conflicts with the online store function when it comes to recovering a single file. There is no way to disable this for people who don't want it. But one security/privacy feature of these programs is: scrambling the filenames. You point it to your online/synced folder and it saves the encrypted version there (and takes care of encryption/decryption in the background). Or if you just kept one copy, the encrypted one, then you would need to unzip each time you wanted to access the data (and zip again afterwards).Īnother solution I came across is called Cryptomator (and I think encfs works similarly). Each time you edit the data, you would need to remember to create a new zip. And a zipped version on the Google drive or Dropbox folder. An unencrypted version on an offline/unsynced folder. ![]() ![]() But couple of issues for frequently accessed data: I think this should work okay for infrequently updated data. The easiest option I had considered was to use Winzip to create a password protected zip and save that on the cloud. ![]() I know some of these services do encryption of some sort, but it was recommended to do your own encryption. I'd like to request if people can suggest or share ways to encrypt files backed up online (Goolge Drive, Dropbox, etc).
