Hey I was thinking about cloud backups. I gotta encrypt important files then if dropbox. My alternative was just copying stuff to a hard drive and shoving it in a safety deposit box…
NAS + cloud backup is the way to go. Any NAS software worth its salt can do E2EE backup with any old cloud backup solution.
Definitely not for the faint of heart though. If you don’t actively enjoy fiddling then there aren’t many good options. Maybe icloud if you trust Apple to not de-platform you.
Depending on how far away the box is, this might be the most efficient possible alternative.
If it takes you an hour to get the drive and plug it in, and the drive is 14TB, you’re looking at a download speed of 31,000 megabits per second.

Depending on how important those files are to you the safe deposit box might be a good “plan A”.
