I need to encrypt my files and store them locally as well as on my phone and sometimes on the cloud as well. Currently i'm using Paranoia File Encryption https://paranoiaworks.mobi/ everywhere. Is this good or does anybody else have a better suggestion. I also saw Cryptomator popping up in few places. Is that a better option?

Picocrypt is another one you could check out, assuming you are on Android: https://github.com/Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG/releases

Cryptomator is great and I use it on the desktop, but you have buy a license for Android and they only support a certain set of providers. Mine is not one of them. https://docs.cryptomator.org/misc/supported-cloud-services/

Picocrypt looks interesting and like what exactly I need. Thanks for the suggestion.
