Backup encryption for my woodworking plans feels excessive
I keep all my woodworking project plans and sketches in a cloud folder. Most security guides insist on encrypting such files before uploading them. I tried it for a while, but decrypting files to view them on my phone at the hardware store was a real pain. These are just personal plans for bookshelves and birdhouses, nothing proprietary. Now, I rely on a solid password and review the login history for my account every month. Last fall, someone tried to access my account from a strange location, and the alert system caught it immediately. For a casual hobby, that level of vigilance seems sufficient to me. Adding encryption feels like solving a problem I don't actually have.
