Hi,

I use syncless to keep 2 computers in sync by using a usb/networked drive as 
transport medium. The computers are encrypted but using syncless I end up 
having my stuff unencrypted somewhere.

I suggest that the folders of one tag can be individually marked as encrypted.
An encrypted folder can take additional options as e.g. passphrase or key files 
to specify the encryption type and passwords. Files and meta data in .syncless 
are treated as encrypted and are being encrypted when storing and being 
decrypted when being read.

This could be handled by adding an additional software layer that handles the 
encryption/decryption transparently for the existing sync software layer.

Marcel
