EncFS

Top Pro

Encrypts on per-file basis

This makes it suitable for using with Dropbox or similar cloud storage platforms. See More

Top Con

Not up to speed with modern cryptography practices

From some audits in the past, EncFS has had some issues with being up-to-date as far as cryptography practices go. For example, it uses the same key for encryption and authentication or file holes not being authenticated. See More

Top Pro

Configuration is stored in the working directory

The configuration for EncFS is in the form of a dotfile (.encfs6.xml) and it's stored in the working directory. This way you only have to remember the passphrase because all the other metadata is stored in the configuration file. See More

Top Pro

Cross-platform

Works on Linux, OS X and experimentally on Windows. See More

hank scoltar's Experience

Started with their vpn and now I'm in a trial with locker. Basically it secures files with encryption and it's super helpful as it has integrated Dropbox (it means when i put a file in the app, it's automatically transferred to cloud). So far I like the great speed and easy sharing options See More
