Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…
Vaults is a really cool and needed feature. Poorly they dont support any audited algorithm, all their supported ones are either cracked or not audited.
Cryptomator does the same but sucks in many ways (paid android app, electron, no CLI)
Ooo haven’t read the article yet but I’m hoping its a veracrypt alternative, hopefully they also have options to use keyfiles.
Edit: the article mentioned some customization but not at the level of veracrypt still not bad at all. It’ll probably really take off after an audit but looks pretty neat. Also seems to have been around for a few years now, earliest article is around 2017, so I guess its not very popular but curious if anyone has experience using it?
LUKS is the Linux utility most similar to VeraCrypt; they both use block-level encryption. Vaults uses filesystem-level encryption. LUKS has been around for twenty years.
if i understood it corectly, which is entirely possible im clueless, vaults uses cryptfs/encrptfs. like i think there’s a few options from like blowfish and …crap something about a squid lol. i’ve used it in the past with general success, however, that can be lost in a time of unintended shutdowns or system lock ups. which honestly seems fine to me but, it’s worth mentioning as i’ve lost a few things after a usb install froze up.
