Encrypted Local Vault
Encrypted Local Vault is a app in the osFoundry community catalog. Transparent file encryption for cloud sync — pick a folder, set a password, get an encrypted vault that mounts as a virtual drive. Files are AES-encrypted client-side; only ciphertext is uploaded to your cloud sync provider. Powered by Cryptomator. Desktop Java app; runs in a streamed sandbox (KasmVNC) here, or natively on the osFoundry desktop client (recommended — vaults need to mount on your local OS).

# Encrypted Local Vault
Client-side file encryption for cloud sync, powered by Cryptomator.
## How it works
Cryptomator creates an **encrypted vault** — a directory of ciphertext files. You unlock the vault with a password; Cryptomator mounts it as a **virtual drive** where you read + write plaintext. The plaintext never touches disk; only ciphertext gets written to your cloud-synced directory.
## ⚠️ Native client strongly recommended
Cryptomator's value comes from **mounting the vault on your local OS** so apps like Finder / Explorer can use it like a normal folder. The streamed sandbox can mount vaults inside itself but can't surface them to your local OS. **Install the native Cryptomator app** from cryptomator.org to use it the way it's intended.
This room app is useful for: managing vault contents inside the streamed sandbox (rare), or accessing a vault while travelling.
## Features
- AES-GCM file content + name encryption
- One vault = one directory of ciphertext (sync with Dropbox/Drive/Nextcloud/Seafile)
- 256-bit master key derived via scrypt
- Open file format (cryptolib spec is public)
- Sandbox-isolated decryption (per-file keys)
## Packaging
KasmVNC + Cryptomator AppImage. Vaults stored on `/data`.
