• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

• git-secret vs Mozilla SOPS?

  Hey guys, So I'm using git-secret as of now. Just stumbled across Mozilla SOPS today and finding it interesting. Which one you guys recommend and why? Advantages and disadvantages of each?
