    <p><font size="5">Perhaps I should have been more precise. You can
        not use encryption on those documents that you want to create
        and edit in a <b>web browser or mobile office apps</b>. </font></p>
    <p><font size="5">If you are using Windows, Mac, or Linux, you have
        the choice/option to encrypt your Office documents with
        Cryptomator or Rclone. You just need to separate out the files
        that you want to have accessible via web browser.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">If you are using desktop office software, not a
        browser, you can encrypt whatever you wish to.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">Personally, I mostly use LibreOffice, although I
        do own a license for MS Office 2019. Some documents are stored
        unencrypted, but those that are sensitive, like legal documents
        I exchange with my attorney, are all encrypted on my OneDrive
        storage.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">My LibreOffice docs, that I create on Linux, are
        mostly encrypted with either Cryptomator or Rclone.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">If you are a subscriber to Microsoft 365, you are
        purchasing along with the 1 terabyte of storage, a suite of
        Windows software that absolutely exists on Windows, and your
        files get saved via Windows File Explorer to either your local
        PC, or OneDrive cloud storage. Any or all of these files can be
        encrypted.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">You absolutely can, and I do, encrypt my Word
        .docx files that get stored on my OneDrive cloud storage. The
        part that I may not have made clear is that encrypted files can
        not be accessed in a web browser and the online version of Word.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">Everyone who subscribes to 365, the approximately
        $100/year product from Microsoft, does NOT live ONLY in the
        cloud. Everyone uses real Windows files that can be encrypted
        before they get stored in the cloud. The other side of this is
        that you can't use the cloud version of Word to open those
        encrypted files. That is a trade-off for those who choose to
        encrypt their data. </font></p>
    <p><font size="5">The folks who don't pay anything, or those who pay
        $20/year for basic versions of the online only office suite
        can't use Cryptomator to encrypt that specific data. </font></p>
    <p><font size="5">It's simply a matter of choice. I decide not to
        live only in web apps that require a browser.</font></p>

        ENCRYPTION</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">On occasion, many of us  need to send someone a

        rather not have in a clear text email.  There is a very simple

    <p><font size="5">Proton offers  a free tier of their email system. 
        I have one of their free accounts that I  needed to use just
        this morning.  I needed to send my financial advisor my bank
        account routing number and account number.  The free proton
        mail  the feature that allows you to protect an email with a
        password that you can send to anyone and they are not required
        to have anything special other than their normal email.  You can
        include a password hint in the email or give it to the other
        person some other way.  My financial advisor and I have a
        password that we use when we send each other information that is
        secured.  Occasionally I need to fill out a form using a system
        called DocuSign that requires a password.  I know what that
        password is and my financial advisor knows what the password is
        that they need to open password protected email that I send
        them  via proton.</font></p>
    <p><font size="5">I highly recommend everyone look into a free

    <p><font size="5">Similarly, my email, for the most part, also gets

        a service from Proton/Simplelogin that encrypts inbound email
        before it arrives on my mail server.</font></p>

    <p><font size="5">If I do choose to read my email in a browser, I
