I just prefered a QNAP NAS over a Synology because the QNAPS do LUKS/complete DISK encryption without the limitations of eCryptFS.

Dear Houserucki, nice point. But you've got a TS-259 Pro - this is from the higher "SMB &B corporate" league, with dual core Atom and probably enough performance to encrypt everything.

My little 219P ("Home & SOHO") doesn't have any encryption at all, yet. And I would be happy and totally satisfied to encrypt my personal data, but I would like to avoid the performance loss of encrypting the whole drive.

Three years ago in this post, I asked for folder-based encryption. Since that time, many others have begged and pleaded for this feature also.

I understand the problem is not easy to solve; however, others vendors have solved it. Solving the problem is even more important now than it was then.

Please take some time and consider providing folder-based encryption on a drop in the not-too-distant future.

thanks!

what is holding you QNAP guys from enabling share based encryption ? Is there any real reason or are you just ignoring our needs ?

Because of it's not that easy, it's not part of the file system capabilities - and it requires a pretty smart integration into several authentication environments - local, AD, LDAP, ... considering QNAP does still not make use of PAM for example.

Hi,

It's quite easy providing your data is on a Synology

One password, shared? Rubbish Personal credentials or certificates must be useable.

Synology offers Encryption key. AES 256. I Would like to have on QNAP. Asked and announced some years ago.

This is just a container encrypted with a single key. Too limiting, to inflexible, ... Takes me some minutes to set-up on a Linux or Windows system. Once the container is unlocked, the access is open - for example from a hacked Web server. Looks nice on paper - not a reasonable security solution in my opinion (just like a fully encrypted volume by the way).
