At least is an entire Country that will blackmail me, must think I am really important, not some rando that hacked iCloud to find celebrities boobs and post them online...
> Just encrypt your data rclone would do that.
yeah, but rclone is an offline backup, basically.
cloud storage is for when you need immediate access and search capabilities.
Maybe not you specificially, but for example in the U.S., there are over three million people with security clearances. That's a large pool for an adversary to choose from. Maybe all an adversary needs for one particular mission is to identify a janitor at a facility, go through some of their content to find a nude selfie that they might be embarrased if their family saw, and the adversary says, it would be a shame if your friends, family, and coworkers saw this, just prop open this door, it's just a door...
And there are a million more people who don't have security clearances and work at companies such as Alphabet, Meta, a datacenter, Boeing, etc.

it's private files, not secret state information.
things like my address book, SMS (mostly inbound alerts, nobody sends them anymore), WhatsApp backups (which are encrypted) or pictures I took with the phone's camera, nothing compromising.
> Those countries would love to blackmail you
