Proposal: Cryptomator Support for FileBrowser

[bjoernch]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether adding Cryptomator (https://cryptomator.org/) support to FileBrowser would be appreciated by the community — and especially whether this is something the maintainers would want in the project at all.

I would be willing to implement this feature, but before spending time on it, I wanted to ask whether others would find it useful and whether it fits the scope and direction of FileBrowser.

The idea would be to allow users to access or manage Cryptomator-encrypted vaults directly through FileBrowser, so files could remain encrypted at rest while still being conveniently accessible through the web interface.

This could be especially useful for people who use FileBrowser as a personal cloud for sensitive documents, backups, or private files, but still want compatibility with existing Cryptomator vaults.

From a technical perspective, do you think this would make sense as part of FileBrowser, or would it be better handled externally?

Curious to hear your thoughts.
