Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

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.

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.
