I don't want to save my Firefox profile on removable media and leave it accessible to anyone around the house. I don't want to use my iCloud to store it either, because files in iCloud drive aren't end-to-end encrypted; they're encrypted, but Apple holds the keys. I can store attachments in Bitwarden, and my plan comes with enough room to store regular backups of my Firefox profile. If I want to attach the entire profile folder (not all the individual files separately) in one shot, I have to make a zip folder first, and then I can attach it to the Firefox log-in entry in my Bitwarden password manager. Will the backup work correctly if I store it like this? I mean, if I restore a backup after extracting it from a zipped file/folder, will it work correctly, uncorrupted, etc?

Thanks in advance,

As long as the zip file is not corrupted, you should be fine. An added benefit is the zip file can be locked with a password.

Note: Before doing anything tricky, first create a test file.
