Should I encrypt files stored in cloud storage?

Question

Data storage

Hey!
Most of my work is backed up in the cloud. The password is strong, two-factor authentication is enabled. Question: is it worth encrypting files stored in cloud storage? And if so, how exactly to do it?

Answer 1

Encryption is always an inconvenience.
Assess the value of the files, measure the inconvenience.
In general and on average, no one will get into the vault just like that, but still it is not a safe and no one gives guarantees of confidentiality. There may be failures (as recently happened on the Google drive, when access to some files became generally available to the public) and the access of company employees to this data.
