Partial modification with the same key and the same IV often go against the assumptions made by encryption modes and can easily introduce vulnerabilities. If we could trust something like AES ECB (we can't, don't use it) we could efficiently synchronise only changes to files like we can with unencrypted files, but alas. Optimizing for cloud sync is quite difficult. Gocryptfs also exists as a replacement, but portability doesn't seem to be as good.Įither way, they have the same advantage (mounting a file system transparently with access to file based sync) without the disadvantage of needing to download the entire LUKS container. EncFs especially seems like a good match here, with its cross platform support. I'd much rather go for classics like eCryptFs and EncFs. Also, not every sync provider implements good block level sync, so you may be wasting a lot of bandwidth this way. If you’re a Google Drive user who has to dual-boot, multi-boot, or begrudgingly boot into Windows or Mac you’ll be moderately relieved to know that all of your current Drive settings will be migrated over when you upgrade.Mounted filesystems are easy to corrupt and not necessarily protected against server side attacks. Coming Later This Monthīackup and Sync isn’t available to download today, but you will be able to download it from June 28, Google say. Some of these cost money, some have rather scary privacy policies, while others are just plain abandonware at this point.īUT I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO MAKE DO, GOOGLE. Now, yes, I know there are third-party Google Drive clients for Linux that sort of fill the gaps wilfully left by the big G. Instead, I subsist on meagre 3GB Dropbox allowance because it not only has a native Linux sync client, but has a fairly ruddy decent one at that! I personally have 1TB of Google Drive storage that I rarely, barely, warily use.
Yup, once again, it seems we’re being left out in the cold (which we, as penguins, are used to). I know what you’re hoping, but I’m here, pin ready, about to deflate you because there’s no hint of Linux support for this new Google Drive app. How to Use Google Drive on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
