You really should be encrypting things before uploading to a cloud provider.
- michaelt 2y agoAs an enthusiast I of course make encrypted on-site backups, which I then protect by syncing to a cloud provider, and I protect the encryption secrets with a password manager, and protect the password manager and cloud accounts with a U2F key, and protect the U2F key with two spare U2F keys in off-site secure locations. I can understand, though, that most of the population doesn't want such complexity, and prefers to be able to reset forgotten passwords without losing their data.
