- Totally transparent: Just work on the encrypted volume, as if it was an USB flash drive
- Works with Dropbox, OneDrive (Skydrive), Google Drive and any other cloud storage, that syncs with a local directory.
- In fact it works with any directory. You can use it to encrypt as many folders as you like
- AES encryption with 256 bit key length
- AES encryption with 256-bit key length
- Client-side. No accounts, no data shared with any online service
- Filenames get encrypted too
- No need to provide credentials for any 3rd party service
- Open Source means: No backdoors. Control is better than trust
- Use as many encrypted folders in your dropbox as you want. Each having individual passwords
- No commerical interest, no government agency, no wasted taxpayers' money ;-)

### Consistency
- HMAC over file contents to recognize changed ciphertext before decryption
