Regular old ZIP with AES-256 should do the trick for anything truly important you want to keep locked down.

You could always do sly stuff like Hidden volumes with Veracrypt as well. Leave the crumb trail for the low key shit or old nudes of gfs you have permission to keep.

Or don’t use an operating system that uploads your encryption keys to their corporate servers for “backup”.

  Or decline the upload recommendation.

    There is no recommendation that a user can decline. Windows uploads the keys without asking, without consent.

    Do you have a source for that?

    How can the recovery password and recovery key be stored?
    
    BitLocker Drive Encryption allows you to manually encrypt a specific drive or drives on a device running Windows Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition.

    I understand what veracrypt is, i don’t understand willingly using an operating system that constantly violates your privacy at every given opportunity.
