(Feature Request) Allow optional encrypting of all notes #155

Open flyingcactuscloud opened 4 years ago

flyingcactuscloud commented 4 years ago

There is already a PIN-Lock in order to lock notes. So privacy is basically interesting, I guess? Especially for syncing in the cloud or storing backups it is important to encrypt. Only then they are secured and stored safely. Android prevents access to app data by default, but it would be great to see the encryption on that data as well. All encryption should be optional of course. Would be happy to see an improvement there :)

Totally agree! I think that encrypting at least protected notes should be the default behaviour when syncing to GDrive or doing a local backup. This would also guarantee that only the person who knows the PIN can restore protected notes from a backup.
