There is still an open issue in VeraCrypt (https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/136) because of which BitLocker is much faster on SSDs then VeraCrypt... But if you don't need those speads, VeraCrypt is still great...
If you are on Linux and prefer a Qt based GUI, then check out zuluCrypt[1].
It can create PLAIN dm-crypt, LUKS, TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt volumes.

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).

RCX on android[0] gives a reasonable experience for pecking at files (Also handles media streaming reasonably well and supports the Crypt remote mentioned in the parent)

I tried many, many sync solutions (I self host a lot) but syncthing always looked weird to me.
One day I forced myself to actually configure it and, boy, what a wonderful product it is.
It takes some time before you have the eureka moment but then the flexibility of the tool us incredible.
It is hard to keep track of the links so I wrote https://github.com/wsw70/syncthing-map to ease the pain a little bit.
