Nice post!Neat! Yeah, I've used BoxCryptor before - https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/ which works in much the same way and is cross-platform and mobile friendly. Microsoft OneDrive has a vault but as with all things cryptographic, if you don't own the private key then you're not the owner. VeraCrypt - https://www.veracrypt.fr/code/VeraCrypt/ if I'm being really paranoid.
A lot depends upon who you're protecting your files from ...
Cloud providers like Microsoft and Google, certainly, have a vested interest (advertising) in reading all your files and scouring all your pictures. Apple, less so. Data breaches are a concern and so encrypting is an answer there, but what if the data breach is the encryption partner?
Proton are making some noise about their services now and have expanded from a mail service and VPN into drive storage. That's https://proton.me/ - see Tim Berners-Lee on the team? Yeah, that Tim Berners-Lee ... as in the father of the internet!
Thank you, I find this quite useful to know about. I really like how they're doing things, e.g. that the android app can be used without the play store. I'm not sure I'll end up using it, I have my setup that I'm happy with (which is somewhat technically convoluted), but this looks excellent, certainly a recommend for less techy family members.Just a brief post initially to recommend Cryptomator as a tool to secure your data which you have saved in the cloud. It runs on your clients to encrypt (and decrypt) your data which is saved with your cloud storage provider of choice.
I'm glad it's useful to have been made aware of it. I made the post just in case it would be handy for someone.Thank you, I find this quite useful to know about.

+1...Coincidentally, this morning I noticed that Proton are again doing a raffle with ten of their lifetime accounts on offer. The money goes to ten different organisations, at least a few of which I'm keen on...
