I would suggest to add a little overview on what has to happen, for example like (wording can be improved)


To set up access to the encrypted folders, the following steps have to be done

  • Set up the encrypted folder on the server
  • Create a App Token on OpenCloud
  • Create the webdav based rclone remote
  • Create the crypt remote to decrypt content
  • mount the rclone folder


The OpenCloud-specific rclone configuration is platform-independent. The same WebDAV and `crypt` configuration can be used on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The complete workflow described in this guide has currently been tested on macOS. Verification on Windows and Linux is still pending.

I have actually tested on Linux :-) I would just remove the "Verification on Windows...." sentence.


## Access an encrypted folder with rclone

You can access an encrypted folder locally by configuring a WebDAV remote and an `rclone crypt` remote. See [Access End-to-End Encrypted Folders with rclone](./e2ee-folders-rclone.md).
