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?

    If you have a server that you can sync the photos with (using Syncthing for example), then I recommend using Rclone or Duplicati to save your backups (encrypted) to any cloud that you want. I’m using OneDrive and GoogleDrive for my encrypted backups, pretty happy with the setup.

    If you don’t have a server, then Filen or Proton Drive looks like great services.

    Whatever you do, always test your backups!

      I like your suggestion! I have a Proxmox server running. I’m I right to understand that rclone or duplicati take care of the file encryption? This would mean no easy way to access files in your backup, but I don’t see that as a problem

        Yes, both Rclone and Duplicati will handle the encryption for you. For Rclone, there’s an Android app called RCX that lets you access the files. The reason I sometimes use Duplicati is because of the incremental backups, where I don’t think it’s possible for Rclone. Rclone is literally a clone from your disk to some cloud.
