DroidFS is an Android application providing rootless support for gocryptfs and CryFS encrypted file systems. It features an encrypted camera, biometric unlocking, integrated secure file viewers and allows decrypted files to be exposed to other applications. It is 100% FLOSS and developed voluntarily.

This new version...

aims to improve the user interface

implements a foreground service to keep volumes open in the background

allows tweaking the file export method used for sharing content with other apps

adds new Turkish, Simplified Chinese and Hebrew translations

and of course, fixes a few bugs

Official APKs are available for download now. It should land on F-Droid very soon, with a new per-ABI APKs split which will reduce quite a bit the download as well as the installed app size.

Feel free to give some feedback, open bug reports, ask for help, contribute, or just discuss about the project!

How can we trust the F-Droid package if they build and/or sign the APK themselves? Are there reproducible builds? And if so is anyone verifying them publicly?

F-Droid is like package maintainers for Linux distributions. You have to trust them if you want to use their pre-built binary. However, some app builds are reproducible. Check the doc for more info.
