Best Method for Secure yet Convenient OneDrive Usage?

[Hooobi]

Is there a way to store sensitive documents in OneDrive such that any authorized machines (i.e., mine) are able to open/edit them transparently, while they remain secure/encrypted against access by others?

I know OneDrive supposedly encrypts in-transit, but not sure how they're handled at rest.

Realizing "convenient security" is considered a bit of an oxymoron, I'm just interested in understanding the highest level of security achievable transparently utilizing OneDrive.

Update: So after a bit of research on this, I'm seriously eying Boxcryptor. Here's how it integrates with OneDrive. Anyone using this? Thoughts?

I just add files to a 7 zip SFX archive and add a password. Those are encrypted in AES 256 bit.

It's proprietary software. I wouldn't use proprietary security software. I use GPG, and there's a windows version also.

Probably not as convenient, but it's convenient enough.

Thanks for the two suggestions.

I have and use 7zip for limited manual encryption and archiving, but what I'm looking for is something that operates transparently, as in, any files I drop/save into particular (or all) folders in my OneDrive are automatically encrypted on the way in and stored that way, but can still be opened via double-click or normal Open operations within various apps.

Not able yet to figure out if gpg4win allows this, but it seems like Boxcryptor works almost exactly the way I want (I think it mirrors the OneDrive folders, and I use the BoxCryptor folders in the same manner).

Other thoughts/suggestions welcome...

I use boxcryptor, works alright. Doesn't work for offline files.

Crap, I thought it would mimic OneDrive and basically keep files selected for "offline access" encrypted locally as well. Are you using the paid or free version?
