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.

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.
