A good way to store data safely in a Virtual Private Server is a FUSE
encryption layer such as Cryptomator. I am not a big fan of Cryptomator but the
concept is neat. Your file synchronization tool only sees encrypted files, and
your VPS only sees encrypted files. However, in your own computer you work with
unencrypted files in a transparent manner.
Much better than using a Veracrypt volume or similar solution, for file sync
tools at least.
