About Cryptonite

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.

FEEDBACK: Please send a report if you experience a forced close, and send comments, suggestions, bug reports and patches to: https://github.com/neurodroid/cryptonite/issues

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?

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.

N70%
by N####:

Everything I try to create a column it just fails. Used to work for me a while back.

X70%
by X####:

Because Google encryption based on dm-crypt is sucks (Google will give up you to any BB) use this with junction of binding directories (mount -o bind) and you will live a little bit longer. ;) And great respect to developer and EncFS

N70%
by N####:

Works great on older android versions, expect nothing.

N70%
by N####:

I've previously used EncFS4Win to access my encrypted Dropbox from two different PCs (mounting them as drives) - now I can occasionally push or pull the odd file I might need from my phone as well, thanks to Cryptonite. It might take a moment or two to get your bearings around the simple UI but it does work well oiled and without a hitch. Exactly what I needed for mobile access to my secure cloud storage.

Z70%
by Z####:

Work great on Android versions lower than 6 with fuse. I used it on a Lenovo A7000 just for fun, and always happy to have a secure encryption method available that can be run alongside a two pane browser to manage files by simply copying pasting and moving things around. Encrypts/decrypts with the click of a button. Unfortunately after I upgraded to 6 I had to say goodbye to truecrypt on my phone. Still beats all the other encryption apps available. Try Encryption Manager & encourage the dev Please.

P70%
by P####:

This app works well in Lollipop. But since I upgraded my phone to Marshmallow, mounting doesn't work anymore. I'm using ElementalX kernel which supports FUSE. Will Marshmallow fix come soon?

Now mounting an encFS folder can be accessed for normal write operation in Gionee M2 OS v4.22 Jelly Bean. However, in Ubislate Tab 7CZ OS v4.4.2 KitKat, write operations in mounted folder can be accessed only via root file browser (file renaming though, can be done using a normal file browser. How can we mount TrueCrypt container file?. 20151130: please add multiple folders mounting facility.

No real support for good file management. No ability to upload multiple files at a time.

N70%
by N####:

I just had a great user experience from this app, syncing my encfs volume from Dropbox. Much smoother than the" all-in-one" secure file sync service SpiderOak in fact.

fails to mount volume in 4.4

Couldn't get it to open a Truecrypt volume on KitKat, but setting up a native volume is a breeze so no complaints

On the fly mount option but one drawback only readonly mode. Hope author makes changes.

by V####:

Actually this worked for me.. because i used boxcryptor classic which is indeed a good software with only one flaw that it CAN NOT batch-decrypt multiple files at one time when u need to do so therefore u h have to deceypt them one-by-one and that's a painful process...this app solved the problem for me besides it can encrypt files using encfs file system so i think i will stick to it.

I've been using this for a while on multiple devices. Being able to mount truecrypt containers on android is always nice.

The new version does not allow copying or moving files into a mounted volume. I cannot even create new files or folders on a mounted volume (Android 4.2.1 Jellybean)

Works really well with volumes. Hoping to find a way to decrypt my 3TB usb drive with a fully encrypted partition. Can this app do that, even manually through the trypcrypt command line?

all I wanted! :) Thanks.

Some manual setting had to be done.. but i will take it as extra security option.. mount volume worked as charm now.. tq very much

Bit of a learning curve, but great app. Nice linking with encrypted Dropbox folders.

Excellent app that allows me to have an encrypted folder within Dropbox to preserve my freedom from the Police State and Big Brother. Thank you.

Great work. Linking with Dropbox worked seamlessly at first go. Obviously it's not a design masterpiece, but still giving 5 stars just for the concept and functionality.

Works as expected for my devices (Galaxy Note and Nexus 7) running CM ROMs. Had a problem on the Nexus 7 which went away after updating to the latest CM Nightly build (so was most likely a CM problem). I recommend new users to read the cryptonite wiki and Issues page to familiarise themselves with using the app.

O70%

used to love it, but now it doesn't work on any of my devices.

K70%
by K####:

I use this app all the time and it's never let me down. Most importantly, I've never had any data corruption even when I forget to dismount before reboot or when I've had the odd crash and unrequested reboot (not caused by this app btw) Hopefully in the future we'll see improvements such as dismounts after pre-set idle times and such. Get this, try it. You'll love it!

Nice work, I'm on 4.2 and can mount volumes.

K70%

Since March mounting issues in Android 4.2 and now 4.3. Used to be great with 4.1 (it actually still is but it's useless with these mounting issues when using 4.2 and 4.3)

Allows me to store files securely on Dropbox and my cellphone

Installed, tested. It works great.

C70%

love it. its exactly what iwas looking for. one question can you hide cryptonite so no one can see its even installed? that would make it the best app for android if that was an available feature
