Hello! I plan to use Money Manager EX (synced) on both my Android and Windows 8 devices, but I would like to have it not only synced but also encrypted. I've read @MysterY's answer here and completely agree with its reasons, so I went chasing cross-platform encrypted sync clients to give a try.

I have narrowed down to three free options (nCrypted Cloud [https://www.encryptedcloud.com/]; Cloudfogger [https://www.cloudfogger.com/en/]; BoxCryptor [https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/]). Has anyone tried any of these, either successfully or not?

Also, has anyone successfully used some other client (or other ways) of having encrypted cross-platform syncing of Money Manager EX's database?

Experiences using FolderSync, DropSync and similar apps on Android are also welcome, as they should help giving useful insight as to whether third party sync clients cause sync errors (and resulting database corruption), which is my main concern...

Cheers,
A.

Some users reported successfully using OwnCloud and FolderSync.

One of the current drawbacks of using a custom sync solution is that the app is not aware of the database file changes. Android seems to read the database into memory and continues to serve the data from there even after the database file gets overwritten by an external app.
Some improvements are due in that regard. There is an open item for this: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/andro ... issues/711
In this case, the user is using FolderSync.
