Hi,

Thanks for making this wonderful app. It has helped me a lot.

Not really an issue but more of a question. Do you have a seperate app for the function to destroy original files when sending file for encryption? I found myself encrypting some documents just so I can utilize the destroy original file function where it makes the file 0 bytes before I can delete it. It is a wonderful function and I wonder if you have an app with this function only? Thanks!

No I don't have any app for this, for the simple reason that flash storages are not reliable for secure wiping. Even with DroidFS, an overwritten file can leave traces on the storage device. You should not consider this feature secure.

If you don't want to leave traces, either keep your data always encrypted or phisically destroy your storage.
