How does "B2 or S3 replication" not solve this? Using google guarantees your files are not private.

  I'm not saying it doesn't, i'm saying it's cheaper. S3 or Google Cloud storage is going to be so much more expensive in this scenario. B2 is the same as Google One at $10/mo for 2TB, which doesn't include data re-downloading ($20 to redownload the full 2tb). The only benefit you get with B2 is that you only pay for what you use. And I would only recommend consumer cloud storage in an encrypted fashion - cryptomator or rclone are great.

    >I'm not saying it doesn't, i'm saying it's cheaper. So I read this wrong? >It doesn't buy locational redundancy, though; with that setup a fire is sure to take your drives with it unless you get an expensive fireproof NAS. Also, B2's pricing is competitive with google and dropbox for 2 TB and under (within 50%). I haven't priced their larger tiers, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't also competitive. I'd rather have my files sit on an encrypted volume that is easily accessible to me than try to live around integrating obscure higher level encryption schemes. It's a larger attack surface and takes integration with other software off the table.
