I use onedrive and cloudmounter to encrypt the data.
But I also have created a "fog"storage with some friends.
We have a local machine at each home which encrypts the data of a network share and sends it to the others, so we all have redundant offsite backups.
When it comes to features Nextcloud and Seafile are great. Too bad theit E2EE is not so good. Therefore, I choose to use Tresorit, even though itās closed source program
Iām genuinely curious. What have you heard about nextcloudās e2ee? How are you able to verify Tresoritās?
EDIT: I now use Nextcloud w/ e2ee.
I only take in consideration to encrypt my files before uploading them to some cloud.
For file syncing I use Resilio Sync. I donāt use any cloud storage, everything is stored on at least one of my own devices (typically my NAS). Cloud storage doesnāt seem super necessary.
I like to have one additional backup in case of emergency (lost phone, robbed apartment, natural disaster, etcā¦).
@shilu
I had issues with Nextcloud with E2EE enabled. It just didnāt work on PC. And I couldnāt login from mobile app. I remember there was some workaround for that, but I donāt want any workarounds 
Maybe itāll be better with new client app versions
Thatās a pain. Thanks, I thought you knew of some weakness in the encryption
I have most of the stuff on my NAS, but there still are things that are in this funny Spot:
To important to not have access to, but for some reason (most of the time size) not important enough to keep them permanently on my device and just use syncthing (which I use as well)
An other point with NAS is, they might be a security risk in your home network as well, and they are expensive. I have an EMC 6 bay NAS and I donāt recommend that to anyone who just wants a regular backup
This is the main reason I use Resilio over Syncthing: Selective Sync. I can have everything stored on my NAS, share the folders with my other devices, and have fine-grained control over what actually ends up on them.
I stand up an internal NextCloud server thatās only accessible from a VPN connection. That is pretty much what I do for a living. Mailbox plus Cryptomator is completely fine depending on your security stance. If you are hiding all of NSAās secrets, then I would never stick put my data on a cloud storage. If you are putting encrypted password databases up there, you should be fine.
Any alternative for Google photos?
To be honest I really like that pics can be easily shared with friends or family. I can search by keywords like dog, car etc so I can easily find old pictures.
But after all those privacy concerns I would really like to switch to another provider.
I generally donāt store anything of importance on clouds. If I do I use veracrypt and any cloud service.
Yep, Crypteeā¦ Note that new pricing structures are coming soon per the developer
gSuite business account + rclone w/ crypt. unlimited storage is great, but the inability to upload due to Googleās rate limiting is infuriating as all hell.
I used Tresorit for a while and liked the idea (and it worked well), but never adapted it as it was limited to 2TB.
I supposed a ~few bare metal servers @ hetzner w/private ipfs will be what I end up doing eventually.
Thanks for the gsuite idea. What do you mean exactly under the term ārate limitā?
Wow thatās pretty good till I checked the price 
For photos I use around 85GB on Google photos. Here it would cost me 27$/month, damn expensive, although the service really could substitute Google.
Google basically limits how much, or how fast you can transfer data into/out of their storage service. The errors are documented by Google here ā scroll down to 403 error rate limit exceeded. And as you can see, Googleās suggestion is to batch uploads, or basically slow your roll. Boooooooooo. Thereās a fair bit of discussion around this Iāve seen discussed within the rclone groups - e.g. this post.
Butā¦ for unlimited (for now) storage at $10/month, itās hard to complain.
Is on privacy forum.
recommends google.
holā up.
trudat, but the context = only gsuite (not free gdrive) for storage, + encryption (albeit weak).
New, better pricing is coming soon (per the dev)
