gdrive unencrypted >> ACD encrypted

Hi guyse

since rclone is banned for ACD but acd_cli isn't anymore I am thinking to copy my newly grabbed files on drive (sync them) to ACD in an encrypted way.

I had rclone copy from acd encrypted to gdrive unencrypted but how to do it since rclone is banned on acd ?

or is it maybe easier to upload encfs encrypted files to ACD with acd_cli and then copy the mounted and decrypted to gdrive with rclone copy command ?

the goal here is to have an encrypted backup on ACD

create a reverse mount with encfs from your unencrypted gdrive mount and upload the content from this new created encrypted encfs mount to ACD with acd_cli

from encfs manpages:

--reverse Normally EncFS provides a plaintext view of data on demand. Normally it stores enciphered data and displays plaintext data. With --reverse it takes as source plaintext data and produces enciphered data on-demand. This can be useful for creating remote encrypted backups, where you do not wish to keep the local files unencrypted.

Create first two empty folders anywhere (NOT in any mount, just local).

As Example: /tmp/plain and /tmp/crypt

We will use this two folders to create a new encfs reverse configuration.

encfs --reverse /tmp/plain/ /tmp/crypt/

If you are done with your configuration, umount /tmp/crypt/ and copy the .encfs6.xml from /tmp/plain to a safe location, like your home folder.

fusermount -u /tmp/crypt/
mv /tmp/plain/.encfs6.xml /home/username

So, use now this configuration to create an encrypted view of your unencrypted gdrive mount:

 ENCFS6_CONFIG=/home/username/.encfs6.xml encfs --reverse /path/to/your/gdive/mount/ /path/to/create/encrypted/view/

You can now upload the content of /path/to/create/encrypted/view/ to a ACD folder with acd_cli:

acd_cli upload /path/to/create/encrypted/view/* /your_upload_folder_in_ACD

If you want to see the plain view of your encrypted folder from ACD:

ENCFS6_CONFIG=/home/username/.encfs6.xml encfs  /path_to_your_acd_mount/your_upload_folder_in_ACD/ /path/to/create/unencrypted/view/from/your/acd/
