Is it possible that encryption takes ages when files are very small?
Would you advise to use VeraCrypt instead of Cryptomator if I am not using the cloud?
I know that vera will have a container and thats not good to work with if you are connected to the cloud, while cryptomator encrypts every file seperately.
Still, the speed question. Has Cryptomator’s average speed decreased?
I have a rather large CM container (about 10GB) on an external drive, and a lot of the files are quite small. I did this because CM is variable in size, while Veracrypt isn’t, so the diskspace is blocked for whatever container size is chosen for Veracrypt. I knew that CM was slow with small file sizes, but it has recently become so unbearably slow that I’ve decied to copy the content to a new Veracrypt container. Just copying out the files (about 130,000) takes more than a day. Often, CM copies only one file per second. That seems unrealistically slow (i5/8GB/Win10).
I cant give you a good answer but I have about 4000 files in a folder and 2000 of them I want to delete. Not possible to do that… 0,35 elements/s are being delted. And explorer is closing all the thime.
