I’ve been using it for a couple of years with Google Drive on Windows, on a near-daily basis, with approximately 300GB across multiple vaults - some very large files, some very small text files (think Obsidian).

I have not encountered any errors / issues / lost data. I do frequently get a message where it tells me it can’t lock the vault because it’s still “in use”, but I just Force Lock and go on with my day.

I second this. Using it with Pcloud. Syncs just fine, and even if it does not fully sync from one computer, I haven’t had it corrupt while using the files.

Ok thank you, I’m going to try it.

I have encountered errors. But I still would recommend it. It‘s a good app. However, I moved back to Veracrypt.

What errors?

Files not being fully synced and ended up corrupt. This happened especially on iOS with documents actively worked on like for example numbers sheets.

Good to know.

The problem with veracrypt is that for every small edit I have to reupload the entire disk?

restic or duplicati might be a solution for you for that.

Yes. And that’s why I use Cryptomator too. It’s a nice alternative and I haven’t got issues with it yet. I only store a few GB though but it’s good for me.

Fair point actually.
