Has crypt been audited?

Help and Support
1

Good morning everbody!

I would like to store my files in the cloud but I do not want to see the company who offers me their cloud storage to see my files.

I wonder: Has crypt been audited by a third party? I'm not sure how secure using it is compared to other solutions out there.

hi,

afiak, nothing has changed from 2016.
crypt hasn’t been audited externally

which cloud provider do you plan to use, gdrive?
S3 providers, such as aws, wasabi and idrive, offer SSE-C, a type of client-side encryption.

another option, could run rclone mount and use whatever encryption tool you choose.

Thanks. So I'm using Gdrive and B2 as a test.

It seems like I can mount my remote. rclone mount NOCRYPT FOLDER --vfs-cache-mode full

Afterwards I'm able to create a Cryptomator vault in it. This also seems to work. One question tho is can I somehow show the progress of the files being uploaded? I drag and drop them into the vault but I do not know WHEN the upload is finished and I do not want to close the Vault nor do I want to unmount rclone.

that is a bit of a problem, could check the rclone debug log.
or mount using the rc daemon and poll it for statistics.

correct, but then your files are uploaded as is, not crypted by rclone.

I do not want to crypt it with rclone, I want to crypt it with cryptomator. Therefore I mount my noncrypt remote to put my cryptomator vault in it. The only think I would like to see is a progress bar about how much percent of my files have been uploaded when I put files in cryptomator. There should be a progress bar or something like that when mounted with rclone.

I mean there should be a possibility right? When I sync without cryptomator I can use rclone -P for example.

Maybe one day mount will have some upload progress indicator.

People keep trying to implement it:

You can try to help yourself or maybe sponsor somebody to do it:)

In the meantime you can use rc interface and query it for status Remote Control / API

fwiw, i use keepass to crypt information but i keep the database local.
and run a simple script for backup, in pseudo code.

1. run cryptomator
2. exit cryptomator
3. rclone sync /path/to/cryptomator remote:current --backup-dir=remote:archive

another variation that i also use, is that keepass supports triggers.
so every time there is a change in the keepass database, keepass will run a script, which is the same as step 3.
