Skip, why settle for "might even be secure" while using the platform of = one of the companies that makes a practice of burglarizing your information home?

Why not use something like SpiderOak https://spideroak.com/?utm_expid=3D14446725-7.EXfixEIwRZmffqInbsytsg.0

- which lets you keep and control the encryption keys.

Or perhaps even better, the owners of SpiderOak put out a toolkit called Crypton https://crypton.io/ that lets you roll your own.
