For file encryption, I recommend age: https://github.com/FiloSottile/age

age lets you encrypt using an SSH key, though I generally recommend against encrypting to long-term keys like SSH keys because if the key gets compromised it risks exposing anything ever encrypted to that key. Instead, I recommend frequently generating new age encryption keys for specific, short-lived purposes.
