In the case of mobile applications, this advantage may be very important, but in the case of the PC version, I don’t know.
Under the premise that Cloud Storage is mounted and used on a PC in the same form as a local drive, it doesn’t seem to matter much if you use something like VeraCrypt.
However, this question is not meant to denigrate Cryptomator, I just want to know if there’s anything else I didn’t know until now.
Veracrypt encrypts/decrypts a single container that can get very large. If you make a small change to a file inside this container, the whole container needs to be uploaded to the cloud storage, even on a PC.
Cryptomator encrypts/decrypts the files individually. If you make a small change to a file, only the file has to be uploaded to the cloud storage.
That’s basically the main, but crucial difference. Does that help?
