Peter Gamma s privacy office for mobile phones which uses Softmaker for Android with a usb memory stick

Peter was looking for a privacy office solution on a smartphone. He invested a lot of time in installing Libre Office on the Pinephone:

LibreOffice runs on the Pinephone now, but it is poorly adapted, tested, and has no community.

Different is the situation with Softmaker Office for Android. This application is capable of writing files from an Android phone to an usb memory stick. This stick then can be sticked into a PC to process the office files there further.

Softmaker for Android offers the whole desktop functionality on the Android phone, and it is touchbable. So we can have the same app on the Android phone and on the desktop.

Softmaker for Android furthermore has a support and a small community of users. Perer is one of the community members.

Peter had a bit of a struggle to find a usb memory stick which is practical for this solution. He found a small usb-c card reader. He has attached it with a chain to his Android phone. This setup is small and fit s well in Peter s pocket.

Peter has searched for such a solution for many years. And he is currently completely happy with it., This solution does need no internet, no cloud, but only a memory stick. And this stick can be encrypted for instance with Veracrypt. We can make out of the usb memory stick a Veracrypt container which can be opened on the Android phone as well on the PC. And Veracrypt is a great solution. Peter has encrypted a whole Windows 10 PC with. And it works quiet good. The PC stuck on the boot screen every now and then. But in generally this solution works great.

He has tested a Windows 10 PC which is completely encrypted with Veryacrypt now for a longer period of time. It works, and he was able to work with it. But after some time, the PC stuck and did start anymore. And Peter had to reinstall it. But as a stand alone solution exactly to solve this problem, Peter is happy with what works now. It is a solution Peter can work with and it is a solution which is very safe.
