I’m looking for a paid cloud storage provider (like google drive, but not google drive) which is privacy minded, so with features like e2e encryption. I’ve been using Jottacloud to backup my large collection of photos. Jottacloud has been satisfactory, but I’ve heard other users complain of incomplete backups, where certain files are just missing. That makes me a little bit nervous, so I’m looking for something else. Does anyone of you know a good provider?

    I would think that would be the bare minimum for a privacy focused provider. Like I said, you have to take care of file encryption yourself (with something like VeraCrypt). Their tool doesn’t help you with that.

      Thanks for your view. Not sure how other providers take care of file encryption, but in the way I want to use it encrypting the files myself is not an option.

      You mean on your own disk? Makes sense I guess, I wouldn’t want my cloud sync client to mess with encrypting files on my SSD.

      The point is that before data is uploaded, it’s encrypted locally by the Filen client. Job well done I guess.
