I use Cryptomator with iPadOS 16 to encrypt my data in the cloud. My cloud is not iCloud, OneDrive or similar, but the German provider Mailbox.org. I set up a connection with WebDAV like this:
[1] Launch Cryptomator app on Ipad [2] Left column “Vaults”, select “+” icon [3] “Open existing vault” [4] Select “WebDAV” [5] Select “+”, “https://dav.mailbox.org/servlet/webdav.infostore/” and enter “Username” and “Password” [6] Select directory on mailbox drive where vault is located and select vault.cryptomator there [7] Save [8] In “Files” app on iPad, access and unlock Cryptomator vault.
My question: By accessing the cloud directly via webdav (without a sync tool or similar), have I inadvertently broken cryptomator’s end-to-end encryption? Are the files in the cloud and on the way to my iPad and back securely encrypted?
