How I encrypt my data in the cloud

security tools = 10 opsec = 0

I'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 just fine, but I should probably find a replacement that's still maintained, at least for security updates. Anyone know a good alternative? VeraCrypt (mentioned in the article) seems like one possibility.

Restic is a great choice also.

You can store files/backups/whatever encrypted with support for many popular endpoints (local filesystem, S3, Backblaze B2).

Interesting but wonder if this type of encryption ruins Dropbox business model since it keeps them from de-duping anything. I couldn't care less about Dropbox's business model... just curious.

I think the best approach is never save unencrypted data on cloud. Always encrypted on client first. But by that way we lost dedup capability, so we have to do everything, such as encryption, dedup and compression on client side. I made an in-app file system dedicated for that purpose. https://github.com/zboxfs/zbox
