photo-stream VS Cryptomator

First thing I thought of are applications like Photostream. But I thought maybe someone knows of an even better application for my usecase, or has their own experienced to share. (Photostream doesnt support videos though for example).

Currently using photo stream

While photo-stream does not officially support subfolders it could probably achieved with some manual work or a custom script. There has been a short discussion about it here.

Not 100% sure but I think PhotoStream can do what you want. You could mount the shared folder and ever time a new photo will be dropped it should update the static page which also allows downloading a photo if you set the config for that. Depending on your setup you might have to automate syncing if you need that.

If you just want to showcase your photos on a static page have a look at Photo Stream.

For something simple you could check out photo-stream. I think it's good for an online portfolio of your work.

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.
