Syncthing: Untrusted Device Encryption
I'm looking to improve my documents syncing setup. Currently I'm using owncloud, but that seems overkill for just files syncing and it requires maintenance, so I gave Syncthing a look. The "Untrusted device encryption" was not appealing to me because I'm not convinced by the security aspects yet, and also because it is in beta for now. I used gocryptfs [1] in the past and was quite happy with it, so I'm planning to use it on top of Syncthing to have files synced encrypted. As far as I have read this setup (Syncthing + gocryptfs) seems to be used by several people and has already been discussed by gocryptfs' author, who recommended a `-sharedstorage` flag for such use case [2]. Reading [3] I think gocryptfs is more suited for files syncing than cryfs. I'm aware that the metadata (file size, structure, …) of my files are not encrypted but that's a compromise I'm ready to make.
I would be happy to hear about opinions about this approach.

My Mother Found Out I was Installing Linux...
If you want selective encryption, rather than full drive encryption, to be less conspicuous: gocryptfs (Linux)/cppcryptfs (Windows).

Hertzner or other cloud encryption question
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs might be a solution. I dont use it, tried to for some backups but ran into some issues unrelated to the solution itself but with my backup solution.

Mountpoint – file client for S3 written in Rust, from AWS
JungleDisk was backup software I used ~2008 that allowed mounting S3. They were bought by Rackspace and the product wasn't updated. Seems to be called/part of Cyberfortress now.
Later I used Panic's Transmit Disk but they removed the feature.
Recently I'd been looking at s3fs-fuse to use with gocryptfs but haven't actually installed it yet!

Does btrfs send/receive provide any benefit for moving new, non-incremental data?
I think the fundamental issue seem to maybe be the changing inode numbers with things like gocryptfs. Git annex needs those to be static as far as I can tell.

Enigma: A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
A comparison gocryptfs would be appreciated, since this software, at first glance, has no differentiating features from it.

A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
There is a pretty nice project gocryptfs that instead of encrypting container, it substitute on the fly virtual filesystem that encrypts content and file objects. So, if you would share to cloud that virtual filesystem, you don't sacrifice a byte on your system.

Why is VeraCrypt no longer supported by voidlinux?
If you'd like something similar to Tomb but in userspace, perhaps you'd prefer gocryptfs? It's also in void repos.

Full Disk Encryption on the Steam Deck
Check this https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steam-deck-tricks#encrypted-vaults-with-plasma-vault-and-gocryptfs You can even install the gocryptfs binary directly by downloading the binary from the source repo https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/releases and storing the binary anywhere in your $PATH (I've added ~/bin/ for that purpose)

Syncthing: Untrusted Device Encryption
I know that cryfs[1] is resilient to at least the first of these, and possibly the second as well. I don't know if cryfs allows to modify the base directory while the filesystem is online, if it does then it might already be a better solution for syncthing, if you only care about Linux.
On the flip side syncthing could incorporate cryfs's base directory format instead of their home-grown one.

File-by-file encryption tool? (Cryptomator alternative)
It sounds like cryfs might be helpful for this. It stores an encrypted directory in the cloud but mounts the decrypted contents locally on your hard drive so you can work with them. I'm still looking into it myself but it appears to have been designed to let people use cloud storage without ever revealing the contents to the provider.

Vaults vs. Cryptomator? Security, Cloud syncing, integration?

Encrypt Folder or Files before uploading to Cloud
The only apparently decent choice I could find is CryFS. Downside: It is not deemed fully stable (see here). But you should have backups anyways. In that case, it should be OK to use.

Encrypt Data for GDrive
Check out CryFS and Cryptomator. Both encrypt your files locally and then save them to the cloud storage.

As the bipartisan EARN IT act was reintroduced in Feb 2022 by Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal along with the SMART Copyright Act of 2022, companies are already gearing up with full surveillance and content scanning of files....
CryFS was made for this. Have a look at https://www.cryfs.org/.

Cryptomator – Encrypt files on your cloud storage
True, they can see files sizes and you don't get integrity. But for less than top-secret stuff I'd take that tradeoff over CryFS performance issues with large files:
