bleachbit VS Cryptomator

For who want the complete story, this is a recent issue with the Bleachbit cleaner in this github: https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/1518

No, but BleachBit is: https://www.bleachbit.org/

Especially when you make your own cleaners [0][1], which you can also can selectively invoke via the command line (and of course do that via schedule / cron etc.)

If you're looking to clean up space, use Disk Cleanup or BleachBit

*maybe* try running this program. you might have too much in the browser cache bogging it down.

They’re referring to BleachBit but they also don’t realize it’s software and not bleach.

BleachBit - it's like ccleaner but good

BleachBit is probably what you're looking for to clean up browser cruft and other things - avoid CCleaner, Avast ruined it. https://www.bleachbit.org/

That's why we use BleachBit

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.
