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.

Why people try to find another software alternatives instead of the use of the best and practice:
The GPG!
Works flawless for years.
GPG is great, but is there an android tool to easily unlock your files? I know there is the GPG agent on the desktop but nothing came up when I looked it up for android
Well i do that with termux just import the keys to android
