Quick question about encrypting photos with cryptomator before sending to OneDrive

Also, how is it exactly that Cryptomator can detect and sync file changes in something like OneDrive while Veracrypt can’t? Does this make Cryptomator less secure than Veracrypt?

You have to look it from the perspective of OneDrive (the actual sync tool): If OneDrive detects a new file or a change in an old file, it starts its syncing process on this individual file. If the file is small, OneDrive doesn’t have to sync much. If the file is huge (e.g., a 10 GB container), OneDrive has to do a lot of syncing.

Your other question reminds me of this and it might answer your question: Using an External Hard Drive with Cryptomator - #4 by overheadhunter

Without the need to encrypt every single file at its own (which is useful for cloud storage services) VeraCrypt doesn’t leak information like the number of files or their individual sizes.
