> I want nothing of mine (of value) in the cloud.

What's the issue with the cloud if you encrypt client-side? It's off-site backup. Isn't it too risky to have your life's work on a few drives in the same location?

And then after a year of usage it hits the news that they botched the encryption, or that they helpfully back up the encryption key in the cloud too.
