If the encryption is done on your own machine why do they need your Google credentials at all? Also what key is being used to encrypt the files? If it's one derived from a password then this isn't any better than just using freely available software (e.g. One needs to look carefully at these technologies to understand whether "they'll still potentially have access to your files". Boxcrypytor has zero knowledge encryption which means the encryption is done on your local machine and only you know the passphrase. Google would have "access" to encrypted files. If you don't trust Google to access your files why do you trust another third party? But they'll still potentially have access to your files. Why would Boxcrypytor have access to your email if you use a different Google account? Your email has so much personal information.Boxcrypytor doesn't need to be malicious to make basic mistakes. This actually opens bigger attack vectors than just encrypting nothing at all. You shouldn't share passwords with third parties. It also ran fine on 2010 hardware, but video streaming (netflix) crashed sometimes. I have no problem with Lubuntu on 2013 hardware, it still flies. Linux is like a more expanded chromebook, and will run on very similarly poor/underpowered hardware. You will need Linux, Windows, or Mac, though, chromebook won't do it, I do not think. If you want a GUI, after you set up the rclone config, you can download rclonebrowser, which will let you do all the copy/restore/etc graphically. I was able to backup and restore just fine, no issues, and everything is encrypted and speedy. Here's a tutorial (read through until they do the first "copy", then skip down to the "encryption" section, since that's what you want). I ended up using rclone on top of gdrive, and it was a bit messy, but if you can figure out something like rsync that it should be no trouble. I do not think you will be able to successfully do encryption in the cloud in the way you want with only a Chromebook.
BOXCRYPTOR FOR CHROME FULL
I also did some full encrypted backups with Duplicati, and when I went to try a restore everything went to hell (was never able to successfully restore a file back from the encrypted cloud backup on gdrive). I had only bad experiences with Boxcryptor (totally unreliable, cancelled/failed uploads, partial files left all over the place) and Cryptomator (same sort of thing).
