Hi all,
I'm thinking of manually uploading some files to a remote cloud service with no rclone support yet. I want to encrypt the files so I'm thinking of just doing everything with rclone, by setting up a local crypt endpoint, performing a "sync" and let rclone deal with encryption on the fly.
Q1 - will this work?
Q2 - for Filename / Directory obfuscation, will the following work?
Let's say I have a file stored under directories a, b, and c named d:
/local/a/b/c/d with local being set up as an endpoint.
Naturally, after encryption the file path will have the following form:
/crypt/a_encrypted/b_encrypted/c_encrypted/d_encrypted
Can I just upload d_encrypted file to remove, and when I want to recover, drop into /crypt and mount to retrieve the original copy, without having to maintain the folder structure? Or do I also have to upload the file with a_encrypted/b_encrypted/c_encrypted set up as well?
Side note - how is this implemented in rclone? Does the file header store all the info I needed so that strictly maintaining the folder structure upon recovery is no longer needed?
Coz I know rclone is capable of decrypting a_encrypted/b_encrypted/c_encrypted/d_encrypted into a/b/c/d, so where exactly is the mapping stored? And is decrption without a_encrypted/b_encrypted/c_encrypted possible?
Thanks.
