Oh, now I get it, the whole system works if we trust the guy that provide that system.
If you trust the client that is encrypting and uploading the file - which runs on your computer and thus can be audited, modified, or even entirely replaced by you. You do not need to trust that the server (which ideally is also free software, but in practice is a black box you don't have any visibility into) is sending you trustworthy code.
