Thank you for the tip. Disgusting how "features" like this are turned on by default.

If I wanted to encrypt everything I put on OneDrive, hopefully something that is crossplatform, how'd I do that? I'm on linux right now.

EDIT: A quick search brings up VeraCrypt a bunch of times and it's apparently FOSS, does anyone have experiences with it?

Veracrypt is great. Cryptomator works on Android as well.

I've used veracrypt for years, starting back on Windows and I still use it since I moved to Linux. I don't use all of the features for it but what I have are encrypted volumes that exist on hard disks as a single file, which when opened with veracrypt, show themselves as a new disk in the system.

There's probably better ways to encrypt data on onedrive, but you could probably create one of those encrypted volumes to store on onedrive.
