Option to not encrypt file size?

Open Bleuzen opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I read https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs/issues/70 but I don't want to spam this more. Also the title "Blocks of dynamic size" would not be correct.

I search a filesystem that:

  • Encrypts directory structure
  • Encrypts filenames
  • Encrypts file contents (and metadata)

To Encrypt the file size is unnecessary for me. For me, performance is more important. I'm currently using cryfs with Dropbox and it takes like hours to sync, if I copy a big file into the vault. Because it get's splittet in many small blocks and Dropbox takes much time to sync so many small files. So the performance of Dropbox + CryFS + some bigger files = awful

To use a bigger blocksize is not a solution for me, because I also store some small files.

Solution(?): 1 File = 1 Block It would be very nice, if there would be an option to not split files in small blocks.

As long as cryfs not has such an option, I search for another software. I saw Cryptomator, but this is also unusable for me, as long as it not supports mounting with fuse. Dav / webdav works that crappy on my system. Could someone recommend a software that I could try until cryfs has that option?

if, encrypt the file size is unnecessary to you, you must see that: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/comparison/ https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs
