For the specific services listed in the post, I trust them in the order listed, but just these — Apple iCloud and Dropbox. I don't like the idea of Google (or anyone else) scanning my data, even though the security practices may be good. I store the really sensitive information encrypted using a volume (which appears as a file when not mounted and when uploaded) created by Veracrpyt [1] (a replacement for TrueCrypt). I use a long pass phrase to encrypt this volume. For slightly less sensitive information, like photos, I store them on SpiderOak. I avoid putting sensitive information anywhere unless it's encrypted before the upload starts (on my end). I also prefer paying for services. I would strongly recommend using client side encryption, and checking out the options others have mentioned. [1]: https://www.veracrypt.fr https://www.veracrypt.fr
