## Description

Cryptomator: Protect Privacy is an open-source cloud encryption tool that puts data security in your hands. Create vaults, protect them with a password, and access them across your cloud storage. Vaults unlock with biometric readers (Face ID / Touch ID) and integrate with the Files app for a seamless experience.

Security is built in: file contents and filenames are encrypted with AES-256, and passwords are protected with scrypt. It supports major cloud storages (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, WebDAV, S3) and can work with other File Providers. The project is open source and community-driven; it even earned the CeBIT Innovation Award for Usable Security and Privacy.

## Review summary

Users applaud Cryptomator for strong encryption and privacy, a one-time purchase model, easy onboarding, offline access, and convenient saving to encrypted folders. Common downsides include a Files app integration flaw that reveals content when locked, post-update bugs and vault access issues, lack of 2FA, pricing confusion or overcharges, and an unpopular new app icon/UI.

### Pros

- Robust encryption (AES-256) with strict privacy (no tracking/telemetry)
- One-time purchase / no subscription
- Easy onboarding and vault creation
- Offline access with flexible cloud sync
- Convenient direct save to encrypted folders

### Cons

- Security flaw in Files app integration: thumbnails/filenames visible when vault is locked, risking exposure
- Bugs and reliability issues after updates; some vaults become inaccessible
- Missing two-factor authentication (2FA) support
- Pricing/licensing frustrations (overcharges, double charges, lifetime vs subscription)
- Unpopular UI/icon redesign and related UX/UI concerns
