Hi @User1l0. Thank you for the feature request! I appreciate that. The app data private folder are encrypted by design since Android 10 (API level 29). Encrypt additionally files in private folder is now optional, because encrypted files could not be opened after encryption. Please, what did you mean with "add ability to move all encrypted files in container like file by default"? Can you describe me this feature request more detailed?

I mean, when you encrypt the files it automatically goes to to its own appdata folder with his single encrypted container or not single for bigger files, and make ability to store all files in container like space for better simple backups for example it can be a zip file to have a dynamic expandable file size not fixed size like in EDS app, it nay help store small files and backup easly as container, if you do this your app can replace the buggy EDS app this is a great app you can make it greater keep it up 👍

Thank you @User1l0! This is a really good idea. The EDS app uses TrueCrypt, Veracrypt, LUKS, and EncFs. Implement these containers will be time-consuming and the whole encryption design in the app would need to be changed. But, maybe in the future, it will be really good to have this feature. Maybe I'll look at this issue in the future.
