Don't store your secrets on the cloud.
EVER.
sentiment yes but there are FOSS tools to store things in google/microsoft/apple drives or the various object stores (s3, backblaze, etc) that work just like the various drives, but with end to end encryption where you control the keys
in general just don’t let anyone else control your encryption keys… where you store things is almost beside the point
bonus: encryption means they can’t dedupe/compress so you get to waste their money
Could you point me in the right direction for these tools?
