I just emailed Tim Cook that imho iCloud is dead.
He is welcome to add options to use my own cloud storage while using clientside encryption, and I might reconsider.
You're welcome to send him your opinion as well. It's tcook@youknowntherest.
- MichaelGG 13y agoBe serious. This is Apple. How on earth does clientside encryption fit into easy-to-use? Lost your password? Lost your files. That's entirely against the scenario Apple wants to sell. Clientside crypto will only possibly be mass-adopted when there's some easy system for common folks to store their keys.
- Zoepfli 13y agoI'm not asking for exclusive client-side encryption. I'm asking to have it as an option. Which is a totally legit wish. If the common forgetful folks like to trade ease-of-use with being spied upon, I'm fine with that. But me, I'm not willing to do that trade-off.

- epoxyhockey 13y agoApple demonstrated that resistance is possible, for reasons unknown, when it held out for more than five years I'm pretty sure that unknown reason was Steve Jobs. Apple became a participant 1 year after Tim Cook took the helm.
