I currently have dropbox app installed on my iphone and it plays a wide variety of music files. I was wondering if you could implement streaming of mp3 or ogg files in the Cryptomator container.

I also have another issue with Cryptomator that if I download a big file it wants to redownload the file everytime. Why doesn't it keep a local encrypted copy ?

Streaming is not a bad idea, but it's going to be technically challenging due to our encryption and the variety of supported cloud storage services. I'm not even sure if the provided APIs by Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. make it possible to stream data. Our encryption scheme would allow streaming, because random access of an encrypted file is supported by design. We'd have to investigate this in the future.

Regarding your other question: Duplicate of #17

Video streaming with encryption is addressed in UtahFS by utilizing skip list. It's basically a PoC crypto file system, but the idea sounds promising.

This still would be a great feature? I wonder why it is not working already :-(
