Comments on EDS for Android

★★★★★ Per Aba · Jul 18, 2021
Great app for managing encrypted containers. I am using on daily basis for a large Giga bites sized LUKS container, it works well, and it's fast with no root required.
★★★★★ Patrick Bouvry · Dec 17, 2022
Doesn't work for files on the SD Card. Copy the file on the internal file system and it works.
★★★★☆ ipaul1964 · Jul 27, 2022
It works on my Motorola style 2021 ok though I primarily use veracrypt containers these days to maintain compatibility with my Windows PC because true crypt isn't updated anymore!
★☆☆☆☆ Andrew LD · May 8, 2020
I can't connect to my NAS's NFS or SMB shares on my Samsung Galaxy S9, even though they work on both macOS and Windows. Its obvious something is working because it connects whereas a bad IP won't, but I can't see any files I put in the directory from other clients, and I can't create any files using EDS, much less connect to an encrypted container in the share. The app tells me to go check the error log, but I can't view it only send it, so I can't easily troubleshoot.
★☆☆☆☆ Allen Sze · Mar 18, 2023
Very confusing and poorly designed interface. In order to choose the encryption algorithm while opening a volume, you can't just do so from the password popup -- you need to long-press on the volume in the sidebar and edit the settings. Even when you pick what should be the correct settings and correct password, it can't mount a volume that I know for a fact works. The encryption algorithm selection is bizarre because it lists combinations that aren't available in Vera Crypt (like xts/plain64).
★☆☆☆☆ Afterburnerdynamo · Feb 11, 2025
I open a mounted container off the sd card, and I can view picture files fine but when I open videos it plays for a minute then crashes it happens every time, never used to, I did rate this 5 stare not anymore, think it's something to do with the internal player or another app conflicting but haven't found anything that's causing the issue yet, chat gpt said I might need to not format the file system in exfat to ext4 and change it from encryption file system to luks, will change this review if I

This version of EDS is outdated and intended for previous users and older devices. If you are a new user, please install EDS NG instead.



EDS (Encrypted Data Store) is a virtual disk encryption software for Android which allows you to store your files in an encrypted container. VeraCrypt(R), TrueCrypt(R), LUKS, EncFs, CyberSafe(R) container types are supported.

The program can operate in two modes. You can open a container in EDS or you can attach the file system of a container to the file system of your device (i.e., "mount" the container, requires root access to your device).

Main program features:

* Supports VeraCrypt(R), TrueCrypt(R), LUKS, EncFs, CyberSafe(R) container formats.
* You can create an encrypted Dropbox folder using EncFs.
* Choose among five secure ciphers.
* Cipher combinations are supported. A contatainer can be encrypted using several ciphers at once.
* Encrypt/decrypt any kind of file.
* Hidden containers support.
* Keyfiles support.
* Container mounting is supported (requires root access to your device). You can use any file manager, gallery program or media player to access files inside the mounted container.
* A container can be opened directly from a network share.
* Network shares can be mounted to the file system of your device (requires root access to your device). A network share can be mounted and dismounted automatically depending on the available Wifi connection.
* All the standard file operations supported.
* You can play media files directly from the container.
* You can use a hand-drawn pattern along with a password to get easier access to your container on a device with a touch screen.
* You can setup a database inside the container to store various kinds of information including logins, passwords, credit card pin codes, etc.
* You can use indexed search to quickly find files or database entries inside the container.
* You can synchronize your containers among multiple devices using Dropbox(R).
* You can quickly open a folder (or file) inside a container from the Home screen using the shortcut widget.
