I’m looking for a veracrypt/truecrypt equivalent but at the folder-level and dynamic sizing

Something like a tool which could encrypt folders in real-time and then be able to lock it up. Truecrypt expects me to provide a size for it, I’d like something more dynamically sizeable based on the files I store in it.

Even just a tool that encrypts files written into it and converts them to other files works with me

    Here’s a table with multiple solutions and comparisons: https://www.cryfs.org/comparison

    Just be aware that some solutions like gocryptfs are provided as a use-space filesystem using Fuse. This has a very low performance and most importantly if you require inotify on the decrypted data for some application using the file then it won’t be available. In short inotify is what allows apps to watch a filesystem for changes and act accordingly in real time.
