Description
This is a free and open-source file encryption solution based on the original EncFS code. Cryptonite is fully compatible with all EncFS features.Mounting doesn't work on some Android 4.2 devices. We're working on a solution.
READ THIS FIRST: This application is UNDER DEVELOPMENT. Intended for EXPERIENCED ANDROID USERS ONLY. While most features don't require root, mounting EncFS volumes requires ROOT and Kernel FUSE support (found in some CyanogenMod ROMs). Downloading from, uploading to and creating EncFS volumes on your Dropbox or on your phone is supported on all devices.

@H: Don't use the rating system as your testing playground. It's highly demotivating.
OFFLINE MODE: To access an encrypted Dropbox volume when you're offline, sync the encrypted volume to a local folder with one of the many apps that provide online storage synchronization (e.g. FolderSync Lite or Dropsync). Then, mount that local volume with Cryptonite. This will only work on rooted phones that support FUSE though.

SECURITY: Read up on important security considerations: http://code.google.com/p/cryptonite/wiki/SecurityConsiderations
PERMISSIONS: Internet permission is required to access your Dropbox.
SD card access is required to read and write files.
FAQ: Why can't I decrypt and encrypt files on the fly?
Why can't I mount EncFS volumes on my Samsung/ Motorola / Sony device?
Why can't I access any folder on my Dropbox?
Why do I need root privileges to mount EncFS and TrueCrypt volumes?

Great app I love encfs I can feel better using dropbox with this and keepassx to store a secure passphrase. It would be nice if you could delete files inside a decrypted folder and if you didn't have to link with dropbox every time you open it.

Excellent So far so good. Glad to see someone is taking the effort implementing encfs in Android ! I don't use Dropbox. Using this primarily as an encryption tool. Using the same thing (i.e. Encfs) in Ubuntu with Cryptkeeper as frontend gui. Still in the process of experimenting with this program. Any chance of (1) Having the option to choose where I would I like to mount it (2) Multiple mounts? Many thanks! Great job.
