The Encrypted Storage Configuration screen

The screen is designed to configure parameters of the storage being created.

Upper part of the screen

  • Header: "Storage Configuration"
  • "Back" button — returns to the previous step.

Main part of the screen

  • "New encrypted storage name" field — for entering a user-defined storage name.

  • "Storage path" field — displays the path specified in one of the previous steps.

  • "Forget about storage on exit" checkbox — when activated, the storage is considered temporary: after the application finishes, information about it will be deleted.

Parameters for encrypted storages

  • "Read-only mode" checkbox — the storage will be opened in a mode without the ability to modify content.

  • "Storage unlock parameters" group:

  • Allows remembering unlock parameters (password, key files, etc.).
  • For more details: Unlock parameters for encrypted storages.

Parameters for VeraCrypt and LUKS storages

  • "Hash algorithm" group — selection from a list of available algorithms.
  • "Encryption algorithm" group — selection from a list of available algorithms.
  • "File system" group — selection from:
  • FAT
  • ExFAT
  • Ext2
  • Ext3
  • Ext4

  • NTFS

  • "Use quick formatting" checkbox — available for VeraCrypt and LUKS with NTFS file system. When activated, only the header is created, data is not cleared.

  • "Storage size (in megabytes)" field — determines the volume of the container being created.
  • "Split large file into parts" checkbox — when activated, an additional field "Part size (in bytes)" appears, allowing you to set the maximum size of each part.

The parameters “Encryption algorithm”, “File System”, “Use quick formatting”, “Storage size (in megabytes)”, and “Split large file into parts” are available only when creating a new storage.

Parameters for EncFS storages

  • "Configuration mode" group — list:
  • Standard — balanced default mode.
  • Paranoia — enhanced security, more overhead.
  • Expert — allows manual configuration of:
    • Encryption algorithm
    • Key size
    • Block size in bytes
    • Filename encryption algorithm
    • Filename initialization vector
    • and other parameters

The parameters in the “Configuration mode” group are available only when creating a new storage.

Parameters for CryFS storages

  • "Encryption algorithm" group — algorithm selection.
  • "Number of KDF iterations" field — the higher the value, the higher the security and longer the unlock process.

The parameters “Encryption algorithm”, “Number of KDF iterations"”** are available only when creating a new storage.

Parameters for GoCryptFS storages

  • "Plaintext" checkbox - do not encrypt filenames.
  • "XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption" checkbox — use of the corresponding algorithm.
  • "Scrypt N" field — KDF parameter affecting password security.

The parameters "Plaintext", "XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption", "Scrypt N" are available only when creating a new storage.
