Cryptomator encrypts file contents and names using AES. Your passphrase is protected against bruteforcing attempts using scrypt. Directory structures get obfuscated. The only thing which cannot be encrypted without breaking your cloud synchronization is the modification date of your files. Cryptomator encrypts files and doesn’t care where you store them. This makes it a lightweight application, which we believe is a huge benefit for reliability. Cryptomator is a so-called transparent encryption utility. This means that you don’t have to learn new workflows. Just work with your files as you’re used to.
