I would like to encrypt my drives and data on Windows 10, but I need some recommendation to use the appropriate software(s).
On my system drive, I have the
"Backup and sync"
Google software and the synchronizedGoogle Drive
folder. But I absolutely need to let the folder content readable from my phone at any time. If I encrypt the whole drive, will this folder be synchronized as encrypted? If yes, is it possible to decrypt files fromGoogle Drive
on the fly on Android?I also have a
"Media"
SSHD (with myPictures
andVideos
folders, and video editing stuff), a"Backup"
SSHD (which contains theFileHistory
Windows folder), and a"Virtual machines"
SSHD. Note that I need to keep good performances with all of them if I encrypt them, regardless of the method.
I think that the most important folders to encrypt are Google Drive
, Pictures
, Videos
and FileHistory
. But I don't know if whole drive encryption will be better and more appropriate.
For Windows, I found "Bitlocker"
and "VeraCrypt"
, but if all files are encrypted, I won't be able to decrypt Google Drive
folder content on Android.
For Google Drive
, I found "Boxcryptor"
, "Cryptomator"
, and "GoodSync"
which work on Windows and Android, but which seems to be specific to cloud storage.
- What folders or drives must I/can I encrypt to keep good performances?
- What software(s) do you advise me to use? Do I have to use two sofwares to fit my requirements, or do you have any other recommendation?
Thanks!
