wonderful job. I am thankful for the easy access through the
Service menu. But I would like if it was possible to encrypt
without having to “duplicate” the folder. Is it
possible to use GPG like an encrypted container? Similar in
functionality to a .dmg file?</p>
<p>It could be me that is missing something or doing it wrongly. Or
completely missing the point about what GPG is for, mainly for
private communication and NOT for file backups.</p>
<p>Perhaps a possible feature in a future release.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for the great work!</p></div>csjtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/356609832015-01-26T22:37:37Z2015-01-26T22:37:37ZEncrypted "container"<div><p>Hi csj,</p>
<p>while this feature sounds nice, it's not what gpg is meant for.
For that purpose you'd be much better off, if you'd use EncFS. For
example see here: <a href=

<p>There are other tutorials. Sadly there's no simply UI solution.
Depending on your skill level this could be a blocker or a
non-problem.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
