Create an encrypted container that is split over many files

[ghost]

Add the ability to create an encrypted container that is split over many files. All must be present to successfully open the vault. This would make it easier to upload all those files to online services (google drive, dropbox).. etc.

Thanks, yes I know about it. But this is not necessarily about uploading the container pieces online.

1. Say that for the sake of security you want to put half of the container at one place, and the other half somewhere else (e.g. two flash disks). Opening the container becomes impossible without having access to both halves.

2. Another advantage is that veracrypt is much neater than the other solution (Cryptomator). Cryptomator creates copies of your files, one is an encrypted file (which is put in the google drive folder), the other is the original file on the local machine.

It would be nice of veracrypt had this container splitting feature.

Does Cryptomator support hidden volume?

Manage GB of data even local is very bad.

Veracrypt could allow split the volume and those chunks be refenced internally by the protocol, so we could mix chuncks from different volumes in the same folder.

Something like Restic/Borg/https://rclone.org/chunker/ without expose itself, allowing read/write and hidden volumes. This could be awesome!

This is already quite trivial to do by assigning the containers as loop devices, then building a linear raid out of those loop devices (see example https://gist.github.com/Jertzukka/8648ba74f0b4b2330fb622a24f9e14fc). For being such a niche use, I'm sure there are issues which are higher priority for developer time.

Cryptomator does not support hidden volumes; About splitting VeraCrypt's encrypted volumes

1. Using a format that supports volume shunting, such as VMDK, CnCrypt is implemented (enter the .vmdk suffix when creating the encrypted volume)
2. Direct segmentation of data (there is no way to detect the order of the chunks),Map them as a file (encrypted volume) when they need to be loaded
3. Multiple encrypted volumes with the same password can be mounted separately or jointly (combined into one disk) @idrassi @mozlima @Jertzukka

Cryptomator is trash. All your data will be lost

I am eagerly anticipating Veracrypt having a 'splitting feature'. I hope to split a 10TB encrypted drive into 10 separate 1TB files and store them on different hard drives.
