How to use rclone to encrypt your Google drive, Dropbox or other cloud storage folders

Any personal, financial or otherwise sensitive data should be encrypted before uploading anywhere on the Internet. In this video, I talk about how you can use rclone, a powerful command-line tool to encrypt and transfer files conveniently to and from your favourite cloud storage service.

Literally beautiful ! extremely beautiful. but just one lacking point is that... so encryption seems quite easy but I still can't grasp what about decryption of the file. Though, this is really beautiful video. thanks.

Hello there! thank you for the guide i did have a question for you. i use google drive as a backup source. if i use rclone encrypt with /vir on robocopy will it detect a newer version because the file names would be different? or do i have to use rclone as the main backup source instead of a robocopy script or filezilla transfer.

Hi, Then how to decrypt after we upload if we need to download our file and use?

Thank you for sharing this. Exploring various ideas, I moved a Veracrypt container on mounted gdrive (G:), expecting to be able to mount the container in now "local G: drive" using Veracrypt. Unfortunately, Veracrypt can not see G: at all. On the other hand, if I use Raidrive instead of rclone, I can accomplish the above without problems.
