VeraCrypt or other FDE-like tools (that are meant to be used on actual drives or their imitations using a file-backed device) are not so great idea for use with Dropbox or alike file/object storages. Here's why: http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/04/30/you-dont-want-xts/ http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/04/30/you-dont-want-xts/
- giovannibajo1 11y agoIs there a client side encryption tool that works with Dropbox and is usable by non technical people (plus for being available on both Windows and Mac)? I personally use encfs to create a partition within Dropbox, but I don't see that being easy to setup and manage...
- dublinben 11y agoEncFS is specifically not safe to use in situations where an attacker has multiple versions of your data.
- g_p 11y agoCryptomator [1] looks like it fits the bill for what you described. Seems to use a transparent mapped virtual WebDAV drive to make it usable. From my experiments at least, it seems it should be usable by non-technical people without significant demonstration or training.
