I’ve been using GoodSync to back up my files to the cloud, and I’ve enabled encryption for both file content and names. It’s great for security, but I’m worried about what happens if GoodSync terminates its service one day. How would I decrypt my files without their software?

I noticed that if I only encrypt the file content (not the names), I can decrypt those files using 7zip. I’m concerned that GoodSync could change their encryption method in the future, leaving my data inaccessible.

Does Syncbackpro provide all features of goodsync? I noticed that its doc mentioned can be decrypted by zip.
