"If you're willing to do the extra work, you can get a cloud service like Dream Objects, and use software like duply/duplicity to store your files online and encrypted. You may lose some flexibility, though."
I encourage you to look into borg backup[1][2] which appears to have replaced duplicity as the de facto standard for "robust backups that the provider knows nothing about".
This is really the direction you look for providers[3] to go in - giving you a blank slate to write whatever bits you want to and allowing you to control the encryption with your own tools.
If you point borg (or duplicity) at even the most privacy-antagonistic provider, they still have nothing but gibberish.

- StavrosK 10y agoI use borg on rsync.net (and I just noticed the second link is to my post), and I'd recommend it strongly. Basically, if you need to back stuff up, use borg, period. Rsync.net have also been very good and competitively priced, as per the above link. I can recommend them as well. (no affiliation with either product).
