I usually use Age, I'd like to hear your opinions.

tar | gpg.

I'm pretty sure there are "better" ways. Can someone please recommend?

Right now, GnuPG is absolutely safest for individual files. There's no age client for Android, and while I like it, I am allergic to encryption systems without a robust ecosystem.

Someone else just pointed out that DroidFS can read gocryptsfs directories, which greatly expands my confidence in gocryptsfs - which is my preferred short term directory solution. For archival purposes, though, tar+gpg is the only thing I trust to be available and working in a decade.

Agreed. Whenever I encrypt stuff in bulk, I usually do it purely for archiving purposes and tar seems to be the most battle-tested archiving thingie
