description Cryptomator Overview
Cryptomator is not a cloud storage provider itself, but an open-source encryption tool that works on top of any cloud service (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive). It creates an encrypted vault on your computer, which is then synced to your cloud provider. Because the encryption happens locally, your cloud provider only ever sees encrypted, unreadable files. This is the ultimate solution for users who want to keep their existing cloud storage provider but add a layer of zero-knowledge security.
It is free, transparent, and highly respected in the privacy community.
