It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.&lt;p&gt;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&amp;#x27;t get in the way.&lt;p&gt;Because it does &amp;quot;per file&amp;quot; encryption, it also doesn&amp;#x27;t need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it&amp;#x27;s rather fast (depending on file size of course).&lt;p&gt;Cryptomator is also open source[1], and free on the desktop, though the mobile apps costs a one time fee.&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cryptomator.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;cryptomator.org&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;cryptomator&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;cryptomator&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>arsome</author><text>I used to use similar per-file cloud solutions, but SyncThing has been better in every way, especially if you already have a server you want to sync to or can use as an encrypted endpoint.</text></comment>
