Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn’t pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn’t find anything. Haven’t found any recommendations on the privacyguides website either. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

    GPG/PGP turns takes the file and turns it into random bits that only someone with the private key can unrandomize. There is no file metadata left. There is no nothing left. I believe the sizes are even consistent (0-1024kB files will be the same output size.)
