If it is not against the rules, I want to promote my project (https://github.com/netheril96/securefs) here. It is essentially the same functionality, but with authenticated encryption, better password hashing and optionally file size obfuscation (but no fancy UI).


Seems like it has no Android support.


Are there any FUSE file systems on Android? Not a rhetorical question.


But how is it a relevant question? Cryptomator and gocryptfs have Android support.


gocryptfs doesn't have official support for Android. Not sure about Cryptomator.


How does it compare to gocryptfs?


The design of both are very similar. There are only minor feature differences. The following list is not exhaustive:

`securefs` has but `gocryptfs` hasn't:

* Native Windows support.

* Extended attribute on Mac.

* Random padding.

`gocryptfs` has but `securefs` hasn't:

* Reverse mount (mount a plain dir as an encrypted dir).


Thanks for your quick reply - interesting, will take a look!

BTW the reverse mount turns out to be a very useful feature that solves many problems with large file systems!
