I have encrypted my Windows C and D drives with default BitLocker. I will be taking backup of system and files using the free Macrium Reflect (or any other) and then upload to cloud storage. Since Macrium encrypts using AES only, I want to encrypt my files with PGP or OpenPGP or GPG encryption.
Which software do I use for the encryption of my backup files before uploading to cloud?

For cloud backup a nice tool is Cryptomator (Cryptomator - Free Cloud Encryption for Dropbox & Co). It used AES and 256 bit key length so maybe not what you are looking.
I do recommend Cryptomator too. It is available on Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. I am using it to encrypt files before uploading them to Koofr and pCloud.

Anyway, I believe it is a better idea to trust Cryptomator over cloud services such as Sync.com and Tresorit.
