Hi.

When considering the privacy credentials of an android app, I would usually search for reviews by well-known privacy advocates or recommendations from common privacy websites. However, with DroidFS I am unable to find much information and no recommendations from common sites. The little information I can find is that it is an efficient, easy-to-use implementation of gocryptfs and cryfs for android. This is what I am looking for but was wondering whether anyone had any further insight on the app from a privacy point of view please.

Thanks.

    DroidFS does not have Internet permission so any data exfiltration is prevented at the OS level.

      Thanks. I had noted the lack of internet permission as a positive. I guess that I was just puzzled at the lack of coverage within the community. Maybe the app simply hasn’t been around long enough to attract the attention it seems to warrant. Or maybe I am being overcautious.
