-  <summary>Multi-platform client-side encryption tool optimized for cloud storages</summary>
-  <description>
-    <p>
-      Cryptomator offers multi-platform transparent client-side encryption of your files in the cloud.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-      Features:
-      <ul>
-        <li>Works with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud, Nextcloud and any other cloud storage service which synchronizes with a local directory</li>
-        <li>Open Source means: No backdoors, control is better than trust</li>
-        <li>Client-side: No accounts, no data shared with any online service</li>
-        <li>Totally transparent: Just work on the virtual drive as if it were a USB flash drive</li>
-        <li>AES encryption with 256-bit key length</li>
-        <li>File names get encrypted</li>
-        <li>Folder structure gets obfuscated</li>
-        <li>Use as many vaults in your Dropbox as you want, each having individual passwords</li>
-        <li>One thousand commits for the security of your data!! :tada:</li>
-      </ul>
-    </p>
-    <p>
-      Privacy:
-      <ul>
-        <li>256-bit keys (unlimited strength policy bundled with native binaries)</li>
-        <li>Scrypt key derivation</li>
-        <li>Cryptographically secure random numbers for salts, IVs and the masterkey of course</li>
-        <li>Sensitive data is wiped from the heap asap</li>
-        <li>Lightweight: Complexity kills security</li>
-      </ul>
-    </p>
-    <p>
-      Consistency:
-      <ul>
-        <li>HMAC over file contents to recognize changed ciphertext before decryption</li>
-        <li>I/O operations are transactional and atomic, if the filesystems support it</li>
-        <li>Each file contains all information needed for decryption (except for the key of course), no common metadata means no Single Point of Failure</li>
-      </ul>
-    </p>
