obsidian-encrypt VS Cryptomator

I've seen a couple of plugins, like this one, but rather than having to encrypt each note one by one, I'd rather do it for the entire vault.

And for the encrypting/decrypting content in Obsidian, there is a community plugin https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt.

Depending on the platforms of your various devices, you could also just put your Obsidian vault in OneDrive to be synced in similar fashion. For the encryption piece, something like the Obsidian Encrypt plugin might work. But the Obsidian folks recently published a guide to verifying Obsidian Sync's encryption that might give you more info on/confidence in their encryption approach.

Meld Encrypt

https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt is the plugin you are looking for.

There is an encryption plug in (https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-encrypt) - - would it address your use case?

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.
