I do pretty much the same but moved away from Boxcryptor to Cryptomator as it's open source :)

#12Arq [1] works very well for me, it is compatible with various cloud providers as well as personal servers. 1. https://www.arqbackup.com/
Arq backup is fantastic and will work with any SFTP endpoint - not just name-brand (proprietary) cloud services.

I’ve been using Arq for years and also find it to be excellent.

#14I use Cryptomator tied to a WebDAV instance on my server for most of the same use cases. The one thing I feel it’s missing is a gallery type feature for photos so you can see thumbnails and swipe left to right through the files. I’m not sure how this would work in practice with the encryption but it would really make it a killer encryption app for me.

It really is the only missing feature. It gets frustrating trying to show a specific photo from an event to a friend when I have to guess which number in a series a photo was.

#16I used to put my data on dropbox but I'm increasingly not comfortable putting my personal data on devices out of my control. Now I just do a daily local rsync backup. I also use syncthing to keep the documents, music and photos in sync between my laptop and phone (with all that, my phone's 128GB storage is less than 60% utilized).

Boxcryptor solves that problem for the most part... That being said, rsync works really well. I use it to copy files to and from the Synology.

#18I'd never heard of Boxcryptor. Does anyone else use this? I'm not sure I understand why I need to sign up for an account to use it if its entire purpose is to do client-side encryption. Also, it's not quite the same functionality, but this also reminds me: For a long time I've used Knox (by AgileBits, the same company that makes 1Password) for encrypted disk images, but they no longer sell or maintain it. It works ju…
Veracrypt is a great piece of software, but it isn't as easy to integrate across various platforms. Boxcryptor is great because they have iOS/Android/etc. apps.

#19I’ve heard getting your data recovered from a Synology nas is difficult if not impossible
They have an app "Cloud Sync" which replicates the entire NAS onto a cloud provider. I do a backup to Azure, as mentioned in the post, which makes it easy to recover in the event of something going haywire.

#20>I’m curious to hear your thoughts on my personal data security strategy security tools = 10 opsec = 0
I hear you, but I don't rely on security through obscurity for /all/ of my data. ;)
