Currently I am using VeraCrypt locally to keep sensitive data on my PC encrypted. I also use it to keep local airgapped backups just in case my system gets compromised. I would like to start doing some cloud backups of certain data just in case something happens and I were to lose my personal devices as well as local backups. I don’t really trust any cloud services enough to not keep everything fully encrypted, but I want to use one of them. I was thinking either MEGA or Google Drive as I can get a good amount of storage for cheap or free. My issue now is that I am trying to think the best method for implementing something like this… obviously creating VeraCrypt encrypted containers might get a bit ridiculous if each container is 5GB and needs to be synchronized every time I change a couple bytes of data in a single file. Is there a good third party/opensource tool that could be trusted to encrypt files/directories on the fly? Something that maybe would act on an individual file level and output individual files with obscured folder and file names, so that they could easily be synced to a cloud service?

Am I thinking/going about this all wrong? I’m open to any suggestions. Thank you!
