Description

An encrypted overlay filesystem that stores protected files in an encrypted directory while presenting them as normal files through a mounted view. It is useful for protecting selected folders, backups, or synchronized files with file-based encryption.

Use it carefully because losing the password or configuration can make data unrecoverable. Test backups and understand mount points before relying on it for important files.
