    How’s people’s experience been with Cryptomator? I keep going back & forth on looking for other tools or just committing to using it.

      Experience? Data loss, it’s the most unreliable thing and prone to failure, even long file names or paths seems to break it and you’ll lose data without warning.

      What kinda feedback are you looking for? It has one job, and it does it well.

      Its biggest advantage over similar tools (I’m thinking of gocryptfs or rclone with the crypt backend) is that it’s cross-platform, although the official Android client costs money.

        Anything tbh, including what you’ve provided regarding it working well. I’ve read of mixed experiences elsewhere but thought it’d be good to ask for some more recent info on how it’s doing.

        It’s also very funny that as I check back in on this the other most recent comment is adding to the mixed experience accounts I’ve seen before now. 😅

          Yeah, I’ve been using it on macOS since 2021, then on Linux (via flatpak) since late 2023. Haven’t encountered any issues.

      Been using it for quite a while now, just does what it says on the tin without a hassle.

      I’d say commit. If you just want to encrypt files in the cloud, it does so without getting in the way
