What is the problem you are having with rclone? Question: Is there any risk to recording the unencrypted form of encrypted folder names? If the directory files appears as 9372h91v13sqo4futa16s6ag when encrypted with rclone (password only, no salt) and an attacker knows that it would be "files" when…

This is known as "known-plaintext attack" and for modern encryption algorithm like one used by rclone is not useful at all. So do not worry. But it was handy in breaking Enigma during WWII:) cryptography made massive progress since then. Known-plaintext attack The known-plaintext attac…

[image] turkeyphant: can an attacker use the information that "9372h91v13sqo4futa16s6ag" = "files" to decrypt any other files or any other file/directory names? check out How secure is encryption

Thank you. My use case is keeping a record of decrypted directory names so I can delete them from the alias without having to go into the crypt remote so I will do this.

This is for browsing with a file browser on a drive that is mounted as the alias rather than the crypt.

Is there any risk to recording the unencrypted form of encrypted folder names?
