### 4/5 — やったぜ！

*2025-11-26*

ver2.0.1でzip内のwebが正常に見えるようになりました。作者様ありがとうございます

**Developer response:** webp を失念してました。次追加しておきます

### 4/5 — Truly great app, although crashes frequently and wished in could import rclone.conf

*2022-09-30*

Crashes about 75% while watching videos lately, not sure what happened. I truly love this app, it is the only one like it. 

One thing I wish it had SO BAD was the ability to just import and existing rclone.conf file.

### 4/5 — Works for Rclone crypt with Google drive backend

*2020-12-06*

After some tinkering, I managed to add my rclone setup on my iPad, which will be really convenient for me. Thank you developer! Several suggestions for the application.

1. The UI can be more polished. After a remote is added, there is no way to rename/edit it. The only option is to delete and then add it again, which is slightly inconvenient. Also, when I created a remote with the same name as an existing remote, it will fail silently rather than telling me that remote already exist.
2. I would like to add the rclone crypt information manually (as I don’t want to copy the rclone configuration file to my iPad), but I am not sure what are password and salt for? In my rclone configuration file, there is no salt, only password and password2. It would be better if you can explain what those values corresponding to. Of course, adding from configuration file works, so I am not going to complain too much.
3. The built-in viewer works great. But It would be much more convenient and useful if you can integrate with the file API (i.e. sort of like rclone mount, allowing the iOS built-in file App to access the remote). Right now, as a workaround, I can export files to iPad and then allow other applications to access them. It will be more convenient if I can import from this app from other applications.
4. The app crashed after playing an (possibly corrupted) MPV file. 

I am testing all these on iPad Air 4 with iPad OS 14.2.
I am hoping to hear you back and fixing these issues, particularly number 3. I would give you 5 star for that.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect 😊

*2020-07-16, version 1.4.2*

The App is great, because it can play files from Cryptomator, without completely downloading them. So I can watch a 10GB Movie within a Cryptomator Vault, without completely downloading it first👌🏻 that's awesome! The official Cryptomator App can't do that. 

But I also had some Problems. 
I can mount a Cryptomator Vault at OneDrive without any problems. 
I can also mount an encrypted Rclone Folder at Google Drive without any problems. 

But I can't mount my Cryptomator Vault at Google Drive. It's just not possible. It doesn't show any files. Could you please have a look at that?😊

### 4/5 — Great App - No File Import

*2020-01-08*

I’m using Cryptomator with OneDrive and it is working just great! Except by the fact I could not import files to the crypto’s cloud. Example: when I try to export a PDF file from email I could not select this App in the list is Apps to export.

### 4/5 — Pretty good but no self hosted backends

*2019-11-15*

Pretty cool app and I like the idea. Both in practice and as a proof of concept of reversing rclone’s encryption. 

But I really wish the core storage backend supported a self hosted option like WebDAV, sftp, or the like.

**Developer response:** In ver1.4.2, app supports WebDAV backend. Please try it.

### 4/5 — Works great now

*2019-09-27, version 1.3.1*

This works really well! It’s very responsive and fast at listing directories. Some ideas for improvements:
-Allow hiding remotes in the list, eg for the backing remote of an encrypted remote
-Add a share button to the image viewer so that you don’t have to go back and select the image file again to share
-Using Google Drive, when creating the remote I customised the client and chose readonly. However this seems to have had no effect as I can still modify the remote.
-I put in a password but the app asks me for my iPhone pin on launch, and doesn’t seem to allow me to use FaceID.

Thank you so much for making this app!

edit: thank you for the fixes. Two more ideas:

- sorting options would be useful for large directories, eg sort by modified date
- when uploading files there is no way to see the progress and when/if the upload succeeded or failed. You can also start two uploads one after the other and it’s not clear whether they both continue. Does the upload continue in the background? What happens if the app is killed by iOS and your reopen it, will the upload restart? It would be good to have a visualisation of the progress of upload and downloads so that you just know what is happening in each of these cases.

### 4/5 — Files Support?

*2019-09-15*

The app looks very interesting, is there an eta on Files support. It’s the only thing holding me back from Cryptomator everywhere. Thanks!

### 1/5 — 終わりですかね？

*2021-12-15*

iOS15になってffmpegで再生して10秒くらいで
落ちるようになってしまった…

もうアプデも放置されているし、終わりかな？

**Developer response:** なかなか更新できずにすみません。iOS の仕様が変わって、メモリエラーが発生しています。原因は特定できましたので、更新を今しばらくお待ちください。

### 1/5 — Couldn’t open existing crypt

*2020-06-23, version 1.4.2*

This app Couldn’t open existing crypt on gdrive via rclone

### 1/5 — Not working with google drive.

*2019-08-11, version 1.2.0*

Will not open any photos in gdrive. Works ok with pdf viewer but only of use to me if will open photos I have stored on google drive. Photo opens for literally a split second and closes.

### 2/5 — lacks important features

*2023-03-06*

app can succesfully connect to encrypted rclone, but it doesn’t have FTP serving, moving from encrypted options…

### 3/5 — Cool but crash

*2024-03-27, version 1.4.3*

Very cool that it exist, but playing video file crash the app after a few seconds.

### 3/5 — Cool but crashes

*2023-05-24*

One of the only apps, I think, to do rclone encryption, which is amazing.  Unfortunately MKVs seem to cause the app to crash out to SpringBoard.  They will play for about 5 seconds, with audio, then the app crashes and quits.  Non-MKVs seem to work okay.

### 3/5 — I really thought this was the answer to clone on iOS

*2021-12-28*

This is a great app if you don’t use our clone crypt! I really wish there was a way to import The rclone.conf file and have it all automatically be set up and I am really missing Mega.nz cloud support.
I have tried to use the art clone password and salt for Gmail on our clone crib on the set up to get access to my encrypted files in my different Gdrives, but it won’t unlock the encrypted files, no matter if I use the original password and salt, or the rclone password id’s

I was so hoping this would be like RCX on android, but sadly it’s not. If this had direct rclone.conf (Encryption)import and Mega.nz cloud support I would gladly have paid the developer $5 for the app. I want to thank the developer for making it as good as it is, with regards to unencrypted Gdrive and OneDrive support.

### 3/5 — Works but needs some improvement

*2019-08-17*

First of all a HUGE thanks to the developer of this app. I’m a dev myself and I know side projects are not easy so kudos!!
But I’ve a few points in order to give constructive criticism:

1. No ability to directly import the rclone.conf file. I know a person using rclone is already tech savvy. However if there’s no option to import the conf file then a bunch of people may be turned off. Not all may know that they need to provide the exact same password and salt (which can always be extracted using the conf file. You don’t need to have them noted down) in order to mount their prize cached encrypted remotes on their iOS devices. 

2. And this is a BIG one for me at least. When running media from a cached and encrypted remote the seek doesn’t work 😭. Like the 30 seconds forward does work but if you mess with the progress bar and take it to say the middle of the movie then it’ll never come back on. This is very frustrating and I hope it can be fixed in a future release. 

3. No ability to cast it to Apple TV or chrome cast( again using cached and encrypted remote). If I mirror screen of my iOS device then the video does get cast to my tv. However if it’s an mkv file then I need to keep my phone on and playing the video in foreground. Can’t switch apps or anything or the video will stop. MP4 fares better though 

4.  Resume play option isn’t really working for me ( I’ve a cached encrypted remote based on a read only drive token )

5. Should have the ability to clear local cache and limit its size in order to manage device storage 

Thanks again and hope this feedback helps. Please keep up the good work. Thank You 🙏🏼

**Developer response:** Thanks for suggesting.

1. >rclone password importing
Support in version 1.3.0.

2.,4. >seeking videos are failed
Some type of codecs are working well but seeking function are failed in some codec/container because of FFmpeg library. It is difficult to fix, I'm struggled.

3. >cast videos
I'm also wanting it! If it is possible to support it, it comes on next major version.

5. >clear cache
It is needed, but there are some technical issue on chaining storage such as encrypted drive. I'm try to support in future version.

### 4/5 — いいね！

頻繁なアップデートを期待します。

### 4/5 — これがあればな

*2026-03-22*

cppcryptfsを使えるiOSアプリを探していたのですが、残念ながら非対応でしたね…

**Developer response:** v2.1.0で、cppcryptfs(gocryptfs)の暗号化を追加しました。

### 5/5 — Got New update

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.0*

Web dav got updated. Bug fixed. 💪💪💪💪

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-06-19, version 1.4.3*

Has been useful to me in the past. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Dmitry

*2022-04-03*

Works perfectly with files encrypted by RClone and stored on OneDrive

### 5/5 — good !

*2021-06-07*

This is a very good app, and can use the .conf file,
I can connect to dropbox, but i cannot connect to pcloud (i see that it have fixed the bug for the latest version, but i still can't connect to pcloud)
thanks !!

**Developer response:** Thanks for using app. The pCloud connection issue will occur when you use EU region. This will be fixed in next version.

### 5/5 — 굿

*2021-02-07*

rclone crypt로 암호화한 파일 볼 수 있음. 디자인은 투박하지만 간단히 뷰어로 보기 좋고 무엇보다 무료임.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-12-10, version 1.4.3*

This app is by far one of the coolest apps in the app store. It allows you to access files encrypted by rclone directly in the cloud. And in the case of videos, even direct playback.

### 5/5 — rclone on iOS

*2020-09-01, version 1.4.3*

Even though it is limited to a few cloud storages, this is the most complete and compatible cloud crypt implementation I have seen on iOS. It even supports team drives and encrypted rclone remotes. Also, if you use the native video player, you can use picture in picture. And all of that while streaming the files and decrypting them on the fly, just amazing!

When iOS files app integration is added, this is a must have for encrypted cloud storage users.

### 5/5 — Godsend!

*2020-01-01, version 1.4.2*

I don’t normally write reviews, but this is a legit god send. Can’t tell you how many times it has saved me from connecting my MacBook or other devices to my Apple TV, or watching something quick on the go. Like I literally open this up, and am up and running in less than 30 seconds. 
Oh, and the rclone compatibility is flawless. 
Keep adding more features buddy and this will be unstoppable.

### 5/5 — best app for rclone

*2019-12-12*

Do you have plan of developing Mac ver.?

**Developer response:** If you using Catalina, please try this:

### 5/5 — RCLONE WIN!!!

*2019-04-18*

This is the only app that I know that works 100% with rclone. 

Would like to see this app work with team drives then I could utilize it.

**Developer response:** The team drive support on Google Drive is added on version 1.2.0.
