Cryptomator
A multi-platform desktop application that provides client-side encryption for cloud storage files, ensuring privacy and control.
What is Cryptomator?
Cryptomator is a desktop application that provides client-side encryption for files stored in cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. It encrypts data locally before uploading, ensuring that only the user holds the decryption keys and cloud providers cannot access the plaintext content. The tool creates a virtual drive where users can work with their files transparently, with automatic encryption and decryption handled in the background.
Individuals and professionals who use cloud storage services and need to protect sensitive files from unauthorized access, including those concerned about cloud provider privacy policies or data breaches.
Developers and privacy-conscious users choose Cryptomator because it is open-source (ensuring no backdoors), requires no accounts, and gives full client-side control. Its transparent operation and strong AES-256 encryption provide robust security without complicating the user experience.
