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.
|
|
|
|
<b>Features:</b>
|
|
- Compatible with original encrypted volume implementations
|
|
- Internal support for video, audio, images, text and PDF files
|
|
- Built-in camera to take on-the-fly encrypted photos and videos
|
|
- Ability to expose volumes to other applications
|
|
- Unlocking volumes using fingerprint authentication
|
|
- Volume auto-locking when the app goes in background
|
|
|
|
<b>Permissions:</b>
|
|
<b>Read & write access to shared storage:</b> required to access volumes located on shared storage.
|
|
<b>Biometric/Fingerprint hardware:</b> needed to encrypt/decrypt password hashes using a fingerprint protected key.
|
|
<b>Camera:</b> required to take encrypted photos or videos directly from the app.
|
|
<b>Record audio:</b> required if you want sound on videos recorded with DroidFS.
|
|
<b>Notifications:</b> used to report file operations progress and notify about volumes kept open
|
|
|
|
All of these permissions can be denied if you don't want to use the corresponding feature.
|
|
|
|
DroidFS is free, open-source, and you can find the project's repository:

<b>Warning !</b>
|
|
Security is neither absolute nor definitive. DroidFS does not come with any warranty and should not be considered as an absolute safe way to store files.
