That’s how I see it with a native encryption of Vault’s inside Obsidian. Sometimes it’s more about minimizing the chances of unauthorized access than completely excluding it. But do you leave your front door open when you leave the house because of that? Or do you use the cheapest lock for your front door that can be cracked by any burglar in seconds? It’s total nonsense, reckless and stupid to do something like that. A good door lock does not prevent a burglar from breaking the window and simply entering your house. Having plain Text is the worst situation in that case. It is best to always assume that your computer system is potentially compromised. If the files are decrypted through a third party software like veracrypt the whole folder would have to be resynced. Sync Software (like Google Drive, One Drive, …) would only see the encrypted files. And could only happen while you have opened that vault in Obsidian. He would have to read the ram to get to the decrypted file or the encryption key which costs time and a lot of ressources to do. It adds a lot of security if the decryption only happens in the obsidian software and not in the OS file system.Ī possible Hacker could only read the encrypted text files. There is software out there which could encrypt an OS folders like veracrypt, … but an encryption just on the OS folder level is not enough in my opinion. In my opinion a vault wide enrcryption makes a lot of sense.
I like this better than encrypting the whole directory, but could probably do the directory thing with veracrypt or 7zip and a batch file or AHK script. Makes it secure from all programs & I can use Eclipse in any program that manipulates text… Typora, VS Code, Libra Office… for example to access the info again.
Highlight sensitive info… use a hotkey to engage Eclipse v0.25 from tray & then w/pin I can quickly enter on Numpad - I can encrypt or decrypt.

I went searching… found a lot of solutions to make a text note (*.md) more ‘secure’. I wanted that in Obsidian but didn’t want to ask the team to do encryption when they’re doing so many other wonders for us users. In Evernote you can encrypt a line or paragraph in a note.
