I feel the same.
Despite what many people will tell me, handing everything to everyone hidden behind a single crypto lock feels much more dangerous than transmitting it over a wire to only the destination then storing it somewhere that some physical security can apply.
It just seems like good security-in-depth. If a flaw were found in the crypto primitives used in my network drive, an attacker would either have had to record all the data as it was being sent, or will need direct access to the drive in question.
It's just one extra step that could possibly save you.
No cryptosystem is perfect, and relying 100% on just the crypto means that if an attack were found, it would be instantly exploitable to all of your past content without any real ability for you to update or delete it.
