    What do you use to encrypt the files to begin with? For apps that don’t have an encrypted backup option built in.

      Keepass encrypts the database with AES-256 by default so there is already a layer of encryption protecting your passwords.

      If you use keepass and want to use a third party service to store your files there’s a way to setup an untrusted mirror which will encrypt the files before sending it to that client. That way you still have your files elsewhere (often on a VPS, seedbox or other host) but that host doesn’t have the unencrypted sync folder just in case you decide to put non-encrypted files in there too.
