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.

What if your Google Drive, S3 bucket, or OneDrive appeared as a regular folder on your computer? Open files in any app, save directly to the cloud, and browse everything in your file manager — no browser needed.

Mounting cloud storage as a local drive turns any cloud provider into what looks and feels like a USB drive or network share on your computer. Open Google Drive files in Photoshop. Save Excel reports directly to S3. Browse your Dropbox in Finder. RcloneView makes this work with 70+ cloud providers.
