CopyQ VS Cryptomator

Try CopyQ https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

Great to hear :)

Re: a new clipboard app, often people recommend CopyQ, which is cross-platform: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ

There are some really really good open source clipboard libraries like https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ . I'd love to see a more cross-platform version.

It's shocking to me how much user-agency I feel like I could get from better control over my clipboard. Whether I want to turn a url into an archive.today/ url or remove crappy tracking links, or whether I want to send a url to another device, or share it... Having a history of things I've copied. The clipboard is weirdly the one interstitial system left standing in computing, and everything else is siloes and isolation. I'd love to see more and more work to make good open source explorations here.

Does anyone know if clipboard managers are possible in Android? I'm vaguely under the impression that by design this is a capability reserved for the keyboard one is using. I'd love to be wrong here.

/u/MaxGaav CopyQ looks like it has an editor. Doesn't look as polished as Copy 'Em I think, which is new to me. That looks great.

I thought otherwise, given that "Unlimited history" is literally CopyQ's most thumbs-upped issue: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/510

At https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/27 the topic Wayland is covered. There are also a few solutions mentioned that you can use temporarily.

I use CopyQ ... It's very good.

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ Looks like what you are after. Haven't used it myself, but the drag 'n' drop feature you're specifying looks to be supported.

CopyQ my dude

There are Ditto and CopyQ. They don't show you a list of paste-able items via right-click context menu though, but you can open a list of paste-able items by clicking the icon in your task bar in the bottom right corner.

the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org

Before putting anything on a cloud service I would recommend 3rd party tools, like Cryptomator, to encrypt folders and such, then upload to a cloud service.

I use Cryptomator - https://cryptomator.org

I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.

These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.

With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.

Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).

Cryptomator's arguably the most popular encryption software for cloud storage (you can give yourself zero-knowledge encryption by using them) - it's actually what they specialize & focus on (cloud encryption). It's 100% open source and Free to use on computers. On phones I believe it's just a 1-time fee of a few bucks ($13-14, then you have it forever) - note: their iOS offering is still new, so may be a bit unpolished at the moment.

This is the solution: https://cryptomator.org/

Cryptomator. It is made for uploading files securely to cloud storage, but works locally, is easy to use, and completely free for your use case.
