Encrypt Cloud Backups with Rclone Crypt — Zero-Knowledge Encryption for Google Drive, S3, and More

When you upload files to Google Drive, Google can read them. When you store data on S3, Amazon can access it. Rclone's crypt remote changes this — your files are encrypted before they ever leave your machine.

Cloud providers encrypt data "at rest" on their servers, but they hold the keys. This means the provider (and potentially government agencies, hackers who breach the provider, or rogue employees) can access your files. Rclone's crypt remote provides true zero-knowledge encryption: files are encrypted on your machine before uploading, and only you have the key.
