[QUOTE="Gnomac43, post: 1918850, member: 414907"] The objective is to encrypt my cloud data, on top of the iCloud encryption. I left ON the option for Apple to access my data in a recovery process, which I don't know what exactly means, but it's good to recover sensitive files that they can't decrypt, I can only do it. I'm not concerned about these technicalities, I use Full Disk Encryption, so yes, it relies on that external chip (like TPM) to store the keys, plus my master key to unlock it. (This is not what I wanted to discuss though, thanks anyway) Thanks for the tip, but it's still not my concern. Cutting MS Office would cut 50 pounds per year of expense, not much but quite a lot on the long run. One thing is interesting there, the auto-sync with cloud, or multiple accounts, which makes the experience on another level, like iWork. Otherwise, it doesn't auto-save files on iCloud, which sucks. I'm not concerned about these technicalities, I use Full Disk Encryption, so yes, it relies on that external chip (like TPM) to store the keys, plus my master key to unlock it. Same is for the Keychain, the only one out there that can be considered safe. (This is not what I wanted to discuss though, thanks anyway) [/QUOTE]
