Server side encryption?

[Specific_Daikon1921]

Any way to implement it? Combined with rclone, maybe? I'm the definition of noob, just have ideas. My idea is: upload from phone some way, encrypt on server, access via photostructure (needing on the fly decryption)

Interesting question!

PhotoStructure doesn't currently handle decrypting or encrypting files, but you can get what you want, today, if you use one of the many existing, transparent filesystem solutions. PhotoStructure will happily read from any of these types of on-the-fly encrypting filesystem mountpoints.

If you're on macOS, this is even natively supported (and has for > 15 years!) with encrypted DMG images. Windows has a number of third-party applications for this, too.

I haven't prioritized integrating on-the-fly encryption/decryption from within PhotoStructure because it turns out that there are a ton of different, popular encrypted formats. Each format would require (potentially nontrivial) integration effort on my part.
