I want a cloud storage that does not monitor my info. Is there such a thing? Whether it is adult stuff or financial documents I want it kept on cloud.

    As others said, Rclone and encrypt your data before sending. I wouldn’t trust no matter what the cloud provider says.

    three words, Zero Knowledge Encryption, look for Clouds that have this technology, so that only you can really see what they are, not even the company can

    but in any case, DO NOT SHARE YOUR FILES PUBLICLY, especially if they are Copyrited, Mega is the one I trust the most or you could invest in NAS or DAS

    Short answer: No.

    Long answer: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.

    Encrypt your data on your end before a cloud client even looks in its general direction.

    What do you all think about MEGA.IO? Supposedly that’s client side encrypted at least against common hackers. I also don’t want my financial data hacked by next year’s script hax0rs, but if I make a 2MB change to a file within a 100GB Veracrypt file I’d like to not upload the entire 100GB every time. Is Mega trustworthy?

      Mega is trustworthy. You can see the client code on git, and you can check the code in the browser if you like. It’s encrypted in the browser then sent to the server encrypted and without sending the password.

      You can verify it yourself, but if they were lying then some security researcher would have already made their career by finding and publicising the lie.

    Encryption is the solution. A combination of at rest and on the fly encryption. They could still pull keys from ram, and they can also monitor your system over time. This all depends on your threat model. If you just want to upload your media collection and run a plex server. Just encrypt things. If you are running a drug market place… the fact that you asked this question… not only the fact that you had to ask it, but the very fact you asked it… well give up that dream. You will be caught very quickly.

    So I don’t think you’ll find a cloud provider- especially an established, reputable one, that doesn’t have a terms of service that includes do not upload illegal material.

    So the thing is, even if their is a site that doesn’t police user uploads today- that might change at any time in the future. Even if they claim to encrypt your data, if it’s not done on your end, they can unencrypt it.

    Your best bet is encrypt it before you upload- that’s a hassle , or just self host it.

    Encrypt your documents before uploading so that they are unable to read them if worried.

    Every cloud service polices or regulates in some way. They have to. If they didn’t, they would be filled with nasty illegal shit and the police would be at their door.

    Most of them won’t really do anything about what you upload unless somebody specifically reports it. I would still recommend encrypting anything important like legal documents or whatever but if you’re worried they’re going to get at you for a pirated movie or something like that I promise you they aren’t, unless you’re sharing that around with a bunch of people

    I can confirm that at least both Dropbox and Google drive will not throw a fit about that kind of material as long as nobody reports it

    And if you’re really paranoid just throw them in a password-protected raw file and set it to encrypt the file names as well and then they pretty much can’t do anything about it
