Hi,
I saw on Youtube a Cryptomator session at Nextcloud event.
You spoke about thinking to develop a browser plugin.
Do you have any “roadmap” about this ?
Would be wonderful if with this plugin we could connect to our online drive and read our encrypted files.
Best regards,
While a plugin is technically feasible, currently there isn’t anything under development.
@markuskreusch correct me, if I’m wrong.
Thanks for your answer.
The Nextcloud video I was speaking about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8S6NSCB4cY
I really like this feature, is there any update?
Here’s a related GitHub issue:
If there was a .js library (for example through webassembly), other devs could create third party extensions easily.
Why doesn’t Cryptomator create a browser extension to allow web access to files on Google Drive, Dropbox, and other mainstream cloud services?
If Cryptomator has an app through which we can browse our files on Google Drive & Dropbox, that means it’s possible for them to allow web access to our encrypted files, for when we are not on our personal computers.
I don’t see what’s stopping them. Web access is the one missing feature from Cryptomator. I know that unlike other similar services, Crytomator wants to stay simple. They don’t want their customers to have to create an account to encrypt or access their files. I totally support that. So it seems to me that short of that, the simple solution to enable web access is to create a browser extension, that would allow us to see and download our files on the web.
The solution is either a browser an extension or the ability to log into our cloud accounts via the cryptomator website, just like on the app, only on desktop.
This would absolutely be a game changer especially when wanting to access the cloud with cryptomator on a computer which isn’t your own.
