> Meh. Dropbox and Google Drive can run arbitrary queries over your files stored there. However, unlike with Apple's invasive on-device scanning, you can encrypt files before storing them at Dropbox or Google Drive. There are even simple turnkey solutions like Sookasa: "Sookasa acts as a transparent layer over Google Drive to encrypt your sensitive files on the cloud and across connected devices..." https://www.sookasa.com/GD https://www.sookasa.com/GD "Sookasa protects data both on devices and in the cloud, and decouples the data from the encryption keys, meaning your data stays secure no matter where it goes." https://www.sookasa.com/dropbox-security/ https://www.sookasa.com/dropbox-security/

How do you know Sookasa isn’t doing the same thing? It doesn’t appear to be open source.

  Open source software like rclone can do something similar.

  A free and open source alternative to Sookasa is Cryptomator. https://cryptomator.org https://cryptomator.org https://github.com/cryptomator https://github.com/cryptomator

You can irreversibly transform the image data of photos added to the Photos app as well.

Cryptomator is another encryption software which can encrypt files before they're uploaded to the cloud, and it's open source. https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator

Rclone and gocryptfs are other options for cloud encryption.
