Cryptomator provides transparent, client-side encryption for your cloud. Protect your documents from unauthorized access. Cryptomator is free and open source software, so you can rest assured there are no backdoors.
Features
  • Works with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud, Nextcloud and any other cloud storage service which synchronizes with a local directory
  • Open Source means: No backdoors, control is better than trust
  • Client-side: No accounts, no data shared with any online service
  • Totally transparent: Just work on the virtual drive as if it were a USB flash drive
  • AES encryption with 256-bit key length
  • File names get encrypted
  • Folder structure gets obfuscated
  • Use as many vaults in your Dropbox as you want, each having individual passwords
  • One thousand commits for the security of your data!
Privacy
  • 256-bit keys (unlimited strength policy bundled with native binaries)
  • Scrypt key derivation
  • Cryptographically secure random numbers for salts, IVs and the masterkey of course
  • Sensitive data is wiped from the heap asap
  • Lightweight: Complexity kills security
Consistency
  • HMAC over file contents to recognize changed ciphertext before decryption
  • I/O operations are transactional and atomic, if the filesystems support it
  • Each file contains all information needed for decryption (except for the key of course), no common metadata means no SPOF

Mod Edit:
Added homepage.

2018 Roadmap for Cryptomator
Since it is understandable that not all of our users can track all development activities on GitHub, I would like to write a few paragraphs here about the technical updates that are planned for Cryptomator in 2018 and their impact on usage
  • FUSE-based drives, in addition to WebDAV
  • Java 9 - better HiDPI support, rapid release and smaller installed state
  • IntelliJ
  • 64-bit
Cryptomator Roadmap Early 2018

For quite some time, Cryptomator has been seen as an alternative to Boxcryptor and you can bet that we were very surprised by this news. On today’s Computer Security Day, we want to take the opportunity to let you all know that Cryptomator is here to stay.

What does this mean for Cryptomator?

Obviously, we are not affected by this acquisition. We are still the same team, with the same goals, and the same vision. Skymatic GmbH will continue to develop and maintain Cryptomator and we will continue to provide you with a free and open-source solution for end-to-end encryption.

The concept behind Cryptomator does not depend on any single cloud provider and we will continue to support as many cloud providers as we can.

Cryptomator is an application that runs solely on the device and does not require any infrastructure from the vendor. This means that even if Skymatic GmbH ceases to operate, existing and new users can continue to use Cryptomator.

sounds like a good tool, I'll check it out. as far as the poll my vote would be "sometimes -- it depends what I'm uploading to the cloud" but that is not an option. too much polarization... :rolleyes:
