Not mandatory, but you may want to consider Boxcryptor for OneDrive.
I did not know Boxcryptor.
I read very quickly but it sounds interesting. I will read it quietly this evening. Thank you very much for your advice.

Nice config, but I'd recommend another Uninstaller like HiBit Uninstaller or Revo Uninstaller. Iobit Uninstaller used to be quite decent, but now it's just fully bloated imo. :)
Thanks. I'll take a look at HiBit Uninstaller

In Periodic scanning You may add EmsiSoft EK and HitMan.Pro Free...

Thanks for sharing :)
Hi. I already use Emsisoft EEK. I forgot to write it down.
Thank you and sorry.

Is the free version enough or the paid version that much better? I did read the differences. Does encrptying file name really make that much of a difference?

The Basic plan is great for beginners.

Try the free plan and then work your way around and determine whether you need Filename Encryption. The last thing you want to do is spend $48 and not use it.
Filename encryption effectively prevents outsiders from analyzing your data structure. However, it also comes with the cost of a slightly slower performance and higher efforts regarding a proper setup.
