7 zip has client for Windows- there appears to be one for android and Mac- not sure about ipads, sorry.

If you password protect a zip file, it uses AES. Just use very strong password.......


If you are more technical, I would vote for Truecrypt also.

Best implementation would be a hidden volume- your container will be ""layered"" (my term, not theirs)
If you use the wrong password, you get to layer 1, which should contain private looking stuff.
If you use the right password you get to layer 2, which has the truly important data.


I didn't get Truecrypt when I followed the written manual, but after looking at the Tutorial on youtube, it was actually pretty easy to understand. I now use it for most of my backups/important documents.
