FOSS for encrypted storage container?

I have a bit of data that has to be encrypted and stored into a file so that it can be moved across file systems and possibly OSes. Disk encryption like dm-crypt and a loop device isn’t appropriate as it may not exist on another OS.

It’s been a very long time since I needed this sort of software. More than a decade ago I used TrueCrypt. I know that VeraCrypt is the current re-incarnationn of the project. Is that still the go-to software for this sort of application? Is there something else that’s popular these days?

I do use gocryptfs on my Linux machines (syncing via nextcloud) and access on my Android device using DroidFS

SteleTrovilo,

Zip the file(s), then GPG symmetric encryption/decryption with AES. Nothing fancy.

Nsh,

Veracrypt

Yes highly recommend Veracrypt.
