How to encrypt/decrypt a file as simply as possible

Hi,

How to encrypt/decrypt a file as simply as possible?

This is what I would prefer (mockup):

Something like:

rclone encrypt folder1/abc folder2/abc

But it's not that simple.

Tried variations of:

editing config
creating local
creating encrypted

rclone copyto local:abc encrypted:

Read the manual countless times but I still can't get this clear. I would like to say that rclone could be simpler to use. I have tried to use it for a very long time and I still get more confused by it than many other packages. How about looking over it and try to simplify the commands and flags and also ask someone that knows how to write ELI5 to make easy examples for everyone.

Hi,

Encrypting files from the command prompt is simple.

rclone copy savedir cryptremote:/files

The above command will encrypt "savedir" to the files directory in the remote named "cryptremote:"

You need to create a remote and then another that encrypts that remote.

The remote can be local files by creating a "remote" as "local".

If this is not clear, let me know and I will elaborate.
