encfs is a cross platform virtual filesystem that allows you to mount/decrypt directories.
Useful for encryption over network shares, or sharing secrets within dropbox.
WARNING:
encfs is being infrequently/community maintained.
The author hints at using newer alternative like ecryptfs or gocryptfs.
NOTE:
Keep backups of your .encfs6.xml files. Without them, your backups are useless.

sudo pkg install fusefs-encfs sudo kldload fusefs.ko sudo sysctl vfs.usermount=1 ## allow non-root users to perform mountsStart fuse on boot
# /boot/loader.conf fuse_load="YES"You may need to configure fuse to allow non root user mounting. (untested)
# /etc/fuse.conf user_allow_otherWindows
