I don't think so. The reason is there's no money to be earned with being simply a storage provider. Additional processing, indexing, workflow tools etc. is what people pay for. That's not possible with E2E encryption.

- pseudalopex 5y agoTheir claim wasn't limited to major storage providers. And what do you call S3?
- planb 5y agoThis isn't the kind of "storage provider" we were talking about. As long as you simply put blobs in there, you don't need end to end encryption, you can simply do the encryption yourself (like people do with these services).
