Privacytools.io could suggest using the Linux Unified Key Setup or LUKS to encrypt internal/external hard drives and usb thumb drives.

I have the code for this, but didn't create a branch for https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/156 (I commited to master), so I can't create a PR until that PR is closed.

VeraCrypt I can vouch for.

Also you can use PGP to encrypt files:
Keybase.io also have a PGP encrypted file sharing service. Also they have PGP encrypted git repos.

Most Linux have disk encryption options. Also Android too. You have to decrypt the home folder on boot time.

Veracrypt and luks would seem like good options, I know also that veracrypt is audited.
@nitrohorse , would you have time to make a PR for this?

We already list veracrypt, no need to list Microsoft's closed source alternative.

@blacklight447-ptio well, Bitlocker works better with Windows 10 & uEfi then VeraCrypt.
Also it's native available - but only for Pro and higher version

I know, but we generally tend to follow the model: we don't require software to be opensource if there is no alternative, in this case there is: veracrypt, thus we require it to be open source. Bitlocker does not fall over it. plus the requirement to have an more expensive windows license for it makes me weary to recommend it.

No mention of phone encryption still however. Suggest using Android's encryption.

to my knowledge, all phones encrypt by default for a few years now, same story for IOS.

VeraCrypt is not free, it is a combination of source-available code and
code under Apache 2.0.

Still not open source and they pretty much mean the same thing.

There is source, but you can't do "whatever you want", this part is
coming from TrueCrypt, which VeraCrypt forked.
