Encryption and decryption layer for cloud storage

Cloud Storage.

So far, so good.

But what do most people want?

1) A way to encrypt their files before uploding to the cloud.

2) A way to decrypt their files transparently when accessing the cloud.

This may be some "sync" folder that get´s synced between devices (for which we have solutions like Cryptomator), but when using the cloud as storage and backup, you don´t want to need such a sync-folder. The stuff shall be stored in the cloud, not locally - that´s the point.

Amazon Drive allows for both concepts and also can be used together with Cryptomator and sync-folder.

But what is with backups of files?

I can encrypt my videos, pictures and documents before uploading them, but then i need to download and decrypt them again!

What i - and i think most people - need, is a way to access the remotely stored, encrypted files and access them with a "decryption layer", and may it be a logical disks that i can access.

This way, i can view and edit my documents, view my picture archive and videos, and so on. All, while i do not need to download anything.

But i just cannot find such a solution!

Did i look wrong, or is this still some missing application?

pCloud has an add-on encryption feature, TeamDrive and Tresorit are also end-to-end encrypted (or at least them claim to be)
