When uploading my files to the cloud, I want to protect them. Sensitive data hotta be on the cloud with some protection.
I was thinking of compressing them using RAR? and putting a password. What would you do?
 
I assume that you refer to iCloud. - Here I would look at the Apple Notes' locked notes feature. And on the iCloud Keychain notes option. For 3rd party options I would look at 1Password (store as attachments). For a bigger solution I would use the database app Devonthink and put my sensitive files in there. But this requires that you totally understand this big, complicated app. So you would have to read the user manual (a whole book!) first in order to do it right. - Which of these methods are right for you will depend on the file types/data types and your overall situation.
 
Not necessarily on iCloud but thanks for the suggestion although it does look a little hard to do.
Any other way available? My suggestion isn’t good enough I guess huh? 😐

Have you considered a 256 bit encrypted sparsedisk image file?
