VeraCrypt: Free open-source disk encryption for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.<p>These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.<p>With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.<p>Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).<p>Cryptomator is also open source[1], and free on the desktop, though the mobile apps costs a one time fee.<p>[0]: <a href="https://cryptomator.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://cryptomator.org/</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/cryptomator">https://github.com/cryptomator</a>
