Don’t know if this is the most suitable place to ask, but it’s all I can think of.

Say like tax documents. Password protect them? What’s the best free software?

    For encryption I stick to veracrypt for local and cryptomator for cloud storage (has a paid mobile application but free on desktop). 7zip also has an option to password protect but not sure how resilient that is.

      VeraCrypt and 7zip are both good recommendations. I’ve read up on cryptomator, but haven’t used it yet, so it’s good to read an endorsement of it from someone who does for cloud storage.

      Edit: you could also encrypt it with a local pgp key if you already use that encryption method with a pgp program or provider

    A service like paperlessNG pointed at an encrypted drive could work well.
