Cryptomator encrypts your files and folders before they sync to the cloud

Cryptomator is a tool that encrypts files and folders before they are synced to cloud storage services. It forms an encrypted vault on your computer or mobile device and encrypts individual files before uploading them to the cloud. This ensures that only authorized users can access the data. Cryptomator utilizes AES-256 encryption to secure each file and protect the filenames.

The tool is open source, allowing independent security audits. It works with multiple cloud providers and can be used locally, on USB drives, or in network folders. Available on all major platforms, Cryptomator enables secure access to encrypted files anytime and anywhere. It takes only a few minutes to set up, requiring no technical expertise. Designed with privacy in mind, Cryptomator is GDPR-compliant and does not collect personal data.
