openoffice VS Cryptomator

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

From that link:

I'm guessing is not "learning" but more of an attempt to game GitHub (e.g. rack up a lot of commits to an impressive-sounding project).

This is Open Office.

OpenOffice is still around. I've had better luck with OpenOffice than with LibreOffice.

OpenOffice is a bit outdated and it's updates don't really update anything if you check the git commits. There is however FreeOffice and OpenOffice, both really good options that look almost the same as MS Office

A different open would be to get open office (https://www.openoffice.org/) use the application called Impress (this is a free PowerPoint alternative).

OpenOffice is a good program. If you've had experience with MS Word, it's relatively the same. It's pretty easy to use too; just choose Writer and start typing. lol

Open office - open source word processor . https://www.openoffice.org/

the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org

Before putting anything on a cloud service I would recommend 3rd party tools, like Cryptomator, to encrypt folders and such, then upload to a cloud service.

I use Cryptomator - https://cryptomator.org

I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.

These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.

With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.

Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).

Cryptomator's arguably the most popular encryption software for cloud storage (you can give yourself zero-knowledge encryption by using them) - it's actually what they specialize & focus on (cloud encryption). It's 100% open source and Free to use on computers. On phones I believe it's just a 1-time fee of a few bucks ($13-14, then you have it forever) - note: their iOS offering is still new, so may be a bit unpolished at the moment.

This is the solution: https://cryptomator.org/

Cryptomator. It is made for uploading files securely to cloud storage, but works locally, is easy to use, and completely free for your use case.
