Description

This is a free and open-source file encryption solution based on the original EncFS code. Cryptonite is fully compatible with all EncFS features.

Mounting doesn't work on some Android 4.2 devices. We're working on a solution.

READ THIS FIRST: This application is UNDER DEVELOPMENT. Intended for EXPERIENCED ANDROID USERS ONLY. While most features don't require root, mounting EncFS volumes requires ROOT and Kernel FUSE support (found in some CyanogenMod ROMs). Downloading from, uploading to and creating EncFS volumes on your Dropbox or on your phone is supported on all devices.

@H: Don't use the rating system as your testing playground. It's highly demotivating.

OFFLINE MODE: To access an encrypted Dropbox volume when you're offline, sync the encrypted volume to a local folder with one of the many apps that provide online storage synchronization (e.g. FolderSync Lite or Dropsync). Then, mount that local volume with Cryptonite. This will only work on rooted phones that support FUSE though.

SECURITY: Read up on important security considerations: https://github.com/neurodroid/cryptonite/wiki/Security-Considerations

PERMISSIONS: Internet permission is required to access your Dropbox.
SD card access is required to read and write files.

FAQ: Why can't I decrypt and encrypt files on the fly?
Why can't I mount EncFS volumes on my Samsung/ Motorola / Sony device?
Why can't I access any folder on my Dropbox?
Why do I need root privileges to mount EncFS and TrueCrypt volumes?

Comments on Cryptonite for Android

★★★★★ Great app ! Now I can use EncFS4win to encrypt files on windows pc,then use this app to decrypt them on Android.

★★★★★ Great effort towards seamless encryption integration over devices!! Its a great start towards a seamless integration of file encryption. I have only checked the Dropbox folder encryption. There was no problem creating new encrypted folders from both Win7 and android 4.1.2 and browsing and adding data from the other and vice versa. Though i found a BUG which made me crazy for a while. When making new encrypted files from win7, there was no problem in reading and adding files in the windows side but when opened in cryptonite it does not show the contents of the folder and says "couldnt find an EncFS configuration file in the directory. Do you want to use an external file?" This error never came when new folders were created from the cryptonite app but persistantly showed when they were made in win7. Later i noticed that when this error msg appears, another folder gets generated(only in the file browser of cryptonite and not in dropbox server) with the same name of the parent folder, except in all lowercase, and when navigated in that newly generated folder, everything worked fine!! So later i tested by making folders with names in dopbox with all lowercase and the problem never arose. Though its a small stuff but needs a work around!

★★★★★ Excellent encryption app Works flawless on my GS3 running rooted TW ROM. I use this together with FolderSync to edit/sync my sensitive files on Dropbox. To decrypt/view on my Win7 PC, I use encfs4win. Great job devs!! Hope mounting will be fixed on Android 4.2.2.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work at all I tried creating a local volume. But that folder still exists and not encrypted!!! I can still visit it by the file explorer. I don't know what this app was designed for. It does nothing at all.

★★☆☆☆ Crashing when entering some directories App crashes when entering recently created directories, that were created from a Linux box. Weird because EncFs version is same on both sides, and older directories work fine. Seems to be a dead project, no updates for quite a while..

★★☆☆☆ Don't work for me Everything I try to create a column it just fails. Used to work for me a while back.

★★☆☆☆ No longer working truecypt --filesystem=none /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 No longer working on my device it just says failed to setup loop device, not enough verbose logging since my kernel (3.0.36+) supports fuse and loop (/dev/block/loop*) losetup -f also shows free loop, maybe its android 4.2.2 doing it....wish it had more verbose output
