Locally Encrypt Files for Cloud Storage

Conclusion

Cryptomator takes a lot of the worry out of using cloud storage by putting you firmly in charge. Once you've created a vault inside your cloud storage service's sync folder, Cryptomator does its thing quietly and reliably, without demanding much attention.

And that's really the appeal: You get to keep all the convenience of Dropbox, Google Drive, or Nextcloud, but without feeling like you're handing over your digital life unprotected. You don't have to rethink how you organize your files or change services; Cryptomator just fits into whatever setup you already have.
