Hello,
I’m just posting this as a warning to anyone using Cryptomator for serious stuff. I’ve been using it in not-very-critical stuff for some years now and the reality is that I’ve had data loss on multiple occasions under Windows.
I had two major incidents:
- After creating a vault in Google Drive (via Cyberduck) it worked fine for some time but eventually the vault was empty;
- Long file names seem to f*k something and the files simply vanish after opening the vault a few times.
If you google “cryptomator data loss” there are a LOT of complaints and frankly I’ll ditch it now.

This is why a backup strategy is only as good as the tested restore procedure!
But i agree - same was for me (years ago) with restic and minio S3.
Since then, i restore a full backup once or twice a year to a second machine to test it
A good reminder that backup was never the feature. Restore is the feature.
Are there any better alternatives for use with cloud storage?
I use it with Dropbox. I haven’t noticed any data loss. I’ll have to investigate.
