Facts

Website: sovworks.com
Price: Free tier
Free trial: Not stated
Access modes: Non-mounted mode browses containers through EDS or compatible Android file managers; mounted mode attaches the container filesystem and requires root.
Automation: The FAQ says EDS can be controlled by other programs using Android intents, including opening and closing containers.
Container formats: The page lists VeraCrypt, TrueCrypt, LUKS, EncFS, and CyberSafe support overall; EDS Lite’s comparison lists the first four.
Container size caveat: In non-mounted mode, FAT containers are likely limited to around 500 GB with 64 KB blocks due to app memory limitations.
Decryption behavior: In non-mounted mode, ordinary files are decrypted to a temporary device location when opened, while media can be viewed directly from the container.
File operations: The program supports file encryption and decryption and creating containers in supported formats.
Filesystem support: EDS Lite supports FAT containers and exFAT containers when an additional module is installed.
Integration: Dropbox storage and synchronization are listed for the full edition, not EDS Lite.
Lite limitations: EDS Lite lacks combined encryption algorithms, hidden containers, keyfiles, and container mounting.
Privacy policy: The policy says no usage data is collected and an opaque device identifier may be collected to verify premium access.
Status: The maker labels this version of EDS outdated and recommends EDS NG.
Support: The EDS page directs users with questions to the maker by email.
