[Suggestion] Create encFS Utility for Mac/Windows to Mount Linux encFS Files
Quote:
EncFS is a Free (LGPL) FUSE-based cryptographic filesystem. It transparently encrypts files, using an arbitrary directory as storage for the encrypted files.
Two directories are involved in mounting an EncFS filesystem: the source directory, and the mountpoint. Each file in the mountpoint has a specific file in the source directory that corresponds to it. The file in the mountpoint provides the unencrypted view of the one in the source directory. Filenames are encrypted in the source directory.
Files are encrypted using a volume key, which is stored either within or outside the encrypted source directory. A password is used to decrypt this key.
The encFS file encryption technology is built-in on Linux. It is not provided by Mac/Windows. However, a FUSE implementation for encFS that enables Mac and Windows to use CLI commands to mount encFS files.
The only other product on the market to make this easier with a GUI was created by BoxCryptor; However they've switched their business model to a subscription based model and abandoned encFS support at the same time.
There appears to be a market for such a product, and would make for a great addition to the Paragon portfolio.
