If you are looking for a service like tarsnap (client side encrypted file storage service) you should check out Wuala (not affiliated, just a personal recommendation). It has a nice (cross platform, Java) GUI client and all the features dropbox has plus encryption. It is operated by a Swiss company and therefore is subject to strong privacy laws.
You can also access it through your browser (Java applet) and they have native iOS and Android apps.
- teaspoon 15y agoWhy should I care that the company is Swiss? The point of client-side encryption is that I don't need to worry about who's hosting my data or what jurisdiction they're under.

This means that they use the passphrase (which they can capture within a short time) of the non-java-applet version of their software, or they serve a modified applet. Being in a different jurisdiction provides a small amount of protection.
