Wow, they recommend nextcloud which doesn't even support client- side encryption .

My recommendations are usually Tresorit, Mega, and Proton Drive. I dont know of any others that support sharing files with third parties that enforces client- side encryption on everything.

  • Mainstream cloud storage providers like Google Drive and iCloud have access to users' files, posing privacy and security risks.
  • Nextcloud is the preferred secure cloud storage option, but has drawbacks like the need for technical expertise to self-host and issues with end-to-end encryption.
  • Filen is a user-friendly secure cloud storage option, but has some concerns around encryption implementation.
  • Mega offers a large free storage plan, but has had past security issues and controversies.
  • Proton's secure cloud storage is part of their broader privacy-focused ecosystem, but has some app and feature inconsistencies.
  • Cryptomator is a useful tool to add an extra layer of encryption to any cloud storage service.
  • Apple's Advanced Data Protection is a proprietary solution that lacks transparency compared to open-source alternatives.
  • It's important to weigh the risks versus benefits when choosing a cloud storage provider based on the sensitivity of the data.
  • Switching to a more secure and privacy-focused cloud storage option is worthwhile, even for non-sensitive data.
  • The article encourages users to take steps to improve their cloud storage privacy and security, rather than relying on mainstream providers by default.

Back to the roots: is there a modern remote filesystem &| protocol with support for encryption?

All storage is secure if you encrypt locally first (metadata notwithstanding). Of questionable utility for phone apps (happy to be corrected, some sort of FUSE type filesystem with cached filenames etc. could probably work), but great for offsite backups (preferably using multiple services) of critical data.

Except if they lose your data.
