Hi, I would like to encrypt some files I have on my pcs.
The intention is to encrypt backup otp codes, curriculums, purchases; personal documents in general. The content should add up to just a handful of MBs.
My current setup is made of a sync node which leverages nextcloud webdav access, my phone and my workstation.
Ideally, I would like to be able to have the files encrypted on every storage, and then be able to decrypt them just for their use. Something like a virtual file system would be fantastic.
I’ve read about pgp, but I’m not 100% sure it is the best solution. Are there any “universally” accepted alternatives?
If pgp is the right way to go, how should I manage access to the files? Should I use a keypair for every end-device and encrypt the files with both pubkeys or not?
Pardon me for all these questions, but I’m a bit confused.
Thanks for clarifying about the best setup for the keys! I didn’t find anything online, I probably used the wrong keywords.
The files would be updated frequently, as the are use to keep track of bookmarks, accounting and so on. On a normal basis, I would edit the accounting file maybe 2 to 3 times a day, not so much honestly. The heavy payload would be the notes. I regularly edit those files through the day to brainstorm, track todos… If I would have to guess, I’d say I update them 20 times a day.
Would this be too much for pgp?
