Protect for/against what?
Did you read other posts about encryption like
Hello, I need some advice about security of my Nexctloud instance which I use for private use in replacement of my Google account.
I run a Nexctloud instance on a local hardware at home, physically accsessible.
I have multiple encrypted backups (borg), at home and remote, so I am sure to never lose anything, in case of robbery or fire or remote attack.
At first I didn’t think my data is worth encryption, but I realize now that anyone stealing my hard drive can have access to all my emails, ID…
Did you read and understand the Admin manual about encryption and its purpose:
The primary purpose of the Nextcloud server-side encryption is to protect users’ files on remote storage, such as Dropbox and Google Drive, and to do it easily and seamlessly from within Nextcloud.
I guess that your idea of security is based more on gut feeling than on a carefully planned strategy. Otherwise you would have read the manuals that describe incompatibility with the individual apps etc.
Much luck,
