Here Recommended Encryption Software: VeraCrypt, Cryptomator, and OpenPGP - Privacy Guides the current list is insufficient. For the two universal options, Cryptomator is paid on many platforms of interest, particularly mobile. And VeraCrypt is desktop only. And all the specific options are OS specific for desktops. We need a universal option that support mobile OR mobile only option that isn’t paid.
This version of EDS is outdated. Please use EDS NG.
I can’t find the source code of EDS NG, on their github only EDSLite that avaiable.
Also
EDS seamlessly integrates with major cloud services, allowing you to secure your files no matter where you store them. Currently supported platforms include: Dropbox, GDrive, OneDrive and Yandesk Disk*"
but…
It’s important to note that encryption doesn’t directly encrypt data during transmission. For example, data sent over a network (e.g., Wi-Fi, mobile data) is typically encrypted separately using protocols like SSL/TLS for internet traffic or WPA3 for Wi-Fi. Android’s encryption focuses on protecting data at rest on the device.
I prefer rclone.org which is free and powerful, and you can run it via Termux.
VeraCrypt doesn’t recommend it, they only acknowledge its existence as a compatible mobile app:
Currently, there are no plans to develop an official VeraCrypt mobile app.
For such support, third party apps exist. Below is a list of the ones we are currently aware of, without endorsing any of them.
As pointed out by others, EDS is outdated which would definitely disqualify it. If it’s true that EDS NG is proprietary, that’d make it harder to recommend. But the minimum criteria only states “Cross-platform encryption apps must be open source” which sounds like it might not rule out something specific to either Android or iOS.
DroidFS seems to be the preferred open source VeraCrypt alternative on Android and has been recommended by some community members since 2022. The DroidFS tool recommendation thread has been dead since 2023 but we can bump it again to see if it should be added. It’d also be worth investigating options for iOS users since DroidFS is obviously exclusive to Android.
Unless I’m missing something, it’s only explicitly stating the obvious fact that a file encryption app only encrypts the data at rest and doesn’t handle TLS encryption when sending/receiving data from a server. I don’t see any issue with this but I have no idea why they’d mention this like it’s some sort of important disclaimer people must know about? I’d be shocked if any of their supported platforms weren’t using TLS.
