# DroidFS
-DroidFS is an alternative way to use encrypted overlay filesystems on Android that uses its own internal file explorer instead of mounting virtual volumes.
-It currently supports [gocryptfs](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs) and [CryFS](https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs) (alpha).

+DroidFS is an alternative way to use encrypted overlay file-systems on Android that uses its own internal file explorer instead of mounting volumes. This allows you to store files in encrypted vaults that other apps can't decrypt.
Currently, DroidFS supports the following encrypted containers:
- gocryptfs (https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs): encrypts file contents and file names but doesn't hide directory structure or file sizes.
- CryFS (https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs): slower, but encrypts everything and obfuscates file sizes.
Features:
-- Volumes fully compatibles with their original implementations
-- Internal opening of images, videos, audios, PDF and text files
-- Common file manager operations: copy, move, rename, create, delete
-- Internal and shared storage support
-- Cross-volume imports
-- Internal camera to take encrypted pictures and videos
