DroidFS is an Android application providing rootless support for gocryptfs and CryFS encrypted file systems. It features an encrypted camera, biometric unlocking, integrated secure file viewers and allows decrypted files to be exposed to other applications. It is 100% FLOSS and developed voluntarily.

This new version...

aims to improve the user interface
implements a foreground service to keep volumes open in the background
allows tweaking the file export method used for sharing content with other apps
adds new Turkish, Simplified Chinese and Hebrew translations
and of course, fixes a few bugs

Official APKs are available for download now. It should land on F-Droid very soon, with a new per-ABI APKs split which will reduce quite a bit the download as well as the installed app size.

Feel free to give some feedback, open bug reports, ask for help, contribute, or just discuss about the project!

I switched to DroidFS from EDS lite (a kinda dead open source alternative) few months ago. It's soooo nice.

I think it's the first app that can open a big video without allocating that space in internal storage. Previously, if I had a 1gb encrypted video, apps would decrypt it in internal storage and play it, temporarily taking up an extra gigabyte (this was an issue if I didn't have enough space).

I'm using gocryptfs because I actually kinda like seeing the file structured, in case I need to delete a folder or file without decrypting the storage, and I can decrypt those files on pc too (I think both windows and linux have an app for this).
