What is Reddit's opinion of Cryptsync?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

To add to this, grepWin. Basically an advanced file search tool that searches the content of files, as well as the names of the files.

Lets you use regular expressions to search for text in files, and lets you filter by file size, file name extension and do text replacement on matches. Doesn't do it instantly like Everything though, so don't just search C:\ for a single file.

Bit advanced for the average user perhaps, but still an awesome tool.

I'm on this train. *waves*

Edit: Just ran the importer and now every page in my imported notebooks says "Loading ... please wait". I tried forcing it to re-sync, but it doesn't do anything. Any ideas? This is on Windows 8.1.

Edit 2: Used the stefanstools importer from the sidebar instead. This one actually works!

For finding files on your entire computer, I recommend Everything.

For searching the contents of files, I recommend grepWin.

I think I used this one or some version of it: http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/Evernote2Onenote.html

A couple things to keep in mind:

1. OneNote needs to be installed on your machine. It can't be the lite version that comes pre-installed on Windows 10. I had to install the full (still free) Desktop version.

2. Keep an eye out for duplicates that will be created on notes that have multiple tags. (OneNote uses a project-centric tabbed approach.)

>small desktop app that takes all files stored in a certain directory, encrypts them and copies them to the OneDrive sync folder (and vice-versa)

CryptSync does that. Internally it uses 7zip to compress and encrypt the files.

Thank you for your reply. This has been turning out to be rather stressful. So I think it's working, but I don't know how to test the file... I tried to use -vv while decrypting, but I don't even know how to decrypt properly from the command prompt... it just keeps telling me "usage: gpg [options] -decrypt [filename]"

From what you're saying, I need to include both digest commands? Like this:

compress-algo BZIP2 bzip2-compress-level 9 no-emit-version s2k-digest-algo SHA512 s2k-mode 3 s2k-count 65011712 s2k-cipher-algo AES256 digest-algo SHA512

I left the count at the maximum and it seems to only slow the job by a couple seconds per file, so I guess I'll just leave it maxed. I used SHA512 instead of SHA256, because some people told me that SHA512 slows down GPU attacks a little bit.

I'm only doing file encryption right now, so these commands only need to work for file encryption right now (I don't think I'm ready yet to do email properly). I'm using CryptSync to save time, as it handles all the other commands for me, except I don't really want -a, but I don't want to mess with the source code and mess it up to remove that part out. Some people have told me that leaving armor on means a little more work for an attacker, but that's probably not true? At least it means I can store stuff as text if needed.

Anyway, I need to know some way I can see how it was encrypted as I decrypt it. Is this possible? I thought -vv would do the trick

Thank you for your time.

This is one of those things that Linux does so much better with grep, so you probably want something equivalent like http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/grepWin.html or http://www.powergrep.com/

These will let you set complex search strings as you're looking for.

Not sure of your exact need for 'find', but Everything is a great utility for finding files in Windows. (Uses the Search Indexer).

For 'grep,' I use grepWin daily.

I used the migration tool from http://www.onenotegem.com - it's not free but it works and allows batch processing.

A free alternative is http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/Evernote2Onenote.html but I haven't tried it myself..

I consider myself pretty handy with shortcuts, but have somehow missed this one until now. Thanks!

In a similar vein, I have been using StExBar for many years now. It adds a useful toolbar to explorer which has "copy paths" as an option. Use it all the time! Its other cool features that I use most often include "open cmd here" and "bulk regex rename."

I've using this tool to move Evernote notes to OneNote: http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/Evernote2Onenote.html It works pretty well.

I'm a heavy Evernote user, but I'm seriously considering to move to OneNote. I've used the tool to migrate some notebooks to make some "pilots" before to make a final decision.

I used this tool a couple weeks ago to make the switch. I had to spend about an hour categorizing and organizing in OneNote afterward because every tag you have in Evernote gets translated to a new tab on OneNote, and notes get duplicated between tabs if you had more than one tag on a note. Seemed to work well, though, and I don't use Evernote anymore.

If you would look on CryptSync's page, you would see that it uses 7-Zip by default for encryption, with the option to use GnuPG. Both are free, you don't need to rely on CryptSync to decrypt the encrypted files. CryptSync is just saving you time by automatically using those two programs to encrypt things for you.

A good, free, open source (GPL2) solution to this is cryptsync.

It creates two folders, one unencrypted (for your original files) and one encrypted (to place in dropbox folder) and keeps the files in them syncronized. It encrypts the individual files with 7zip (so AES256). This means that it saves space, and each file can be reopened with any 7zip program and the original password.

I know this has been answered, seems like all of them are linux-y solutions (which is exactly how I'd do it), but if you find yourself needing to do similar things from a Windows box, I find StExBar to be invaluable. It supports batch rename (with regex support, which is how you'd complete the request given here), as well as many other useful features.

You could use OwnCloud (http://www.owncloud.org) for a really solid web based solution. It doesn't natively support file level encryption, but it is multi-platform and supports mirroring to multiple sites. I use this on my own private cloud.

CryptSync may add the encryption layer you are looking for, it synchronizes two folders locally on your computer, with one of those folders being encrypted. You then sync the encrypted folder with what ever cloud storage solution you pick.

I use Crashplan. I encrypt all my files with CryptSync (http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/CryptSync.html) to a folder, which is uploaded with the Crashplan app. Cryptsync can also encrypt file names.

Crashplan gets you unlimited storage for only $40 a year or something. I'm already using 400GB+. The only downside to me is that the upload speed is quite slow, though that's not a problem once you've done your initial upload (everything after that is incremental).

I keep all my bookmarks across browsers and machines in sync with xmarks.

It took me a while to really get started, but I've found I use Evernote at both work and home. I don't really use it for "the quick single note", usually I'm writing end up appending to topic based documents that I already have. I also take screenshots of confirmation pages using the web clipper. I used to write all my notes down in a paper notebook, and I still do, but more often than not when I'm by my computer everything gets typed into evernote. I still haven't tried finding a good way to get doodles and sketches in a nice workflow, but it's on the list of things to do(inside evernote)...

My personal files/documents are synced to the cloud using http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/CryptSync.html It uses 7zip with encryption to password protect files on my machine before they get uploaded, but still leaves me with editable files in a folder on my machine.
