Encrypt while synchronization #204

Closed Erz3 closed 10 months ago

Erz3 commented 11 months ago

Pre-Submission checklist

What version of Round Sync are you using (About -> App version)?

Version: 2.2.2

What problem are you trying to solve?

I would like keep my files save from survillance in cloud services like Google Drive, the same way do Deja Dup for linux. However, Round Sync just sync files but it does not encrypt them.

What should Round Sync be able to do differently to help with this problem?

Encrypt files before sync or copy them to the final location. Deja Dup use duplicity to make this job and would be nice make something similar in Android to Round Sync.

Hi mate, I think I might not have understood you... but you have the encrypt/decrypt type of storage that you can apply to any other storage you already have. Try reading this section: https://rclone.org/crypt/

That is what I mean. Thanks you so much, work fine.

What about this: https://rclone.org/docs/#configuration-encryption

Maybe use encrypt app Android's built-in feature would be enough?

As @sebadamus said, if you need encryption on the target, use a crypt. Most remotes will alao use transport-encryption.

For the config-file-encryption, see #200
