Encryption on external onedrive storage #9

Closed simonsan closed 5 years ago

simonsan commented 5 years ago

How would I do it, if I would like to use Onedrive as encrypted external storage? Would it be easier to just encrypt/decrypt the data client side or is there a possibility to let nextcloud handle that, but for external storage only?

Found out that one can use Nextcloud's own encryption module and enable it for External Storage. Although it is not the most secure way to store your files because the keys are stored in the nextcloud instance, better way would be to just use client-side encryption like PGP or use tools like Cryptomator or VeraCrypt to store data in an encrypted container.
