> That’s interesting idea, actually. But even if I encrypt them, won’t cloud just ban me for “suspicious” files? Because I used Terabox some time ago, and they banned me for this.
In that case, you dodged a bullet, whichever cloud storage provider bans you because of uploading encrypted file is not worth using, definitely a red flag. Even for non-privacy-conscious user, putting a password on a zip file (which is encryption) is a common practice. I think you could sign up for free accounts with multiple cloud providers and test them, they are free anyway, then use whichever you feel comfortable and easy to use.

They don’t offer end-to-end encryption and they are not open-source, you would have to trust their words to not look at your files if you don’t encrypt the files yourself (Koofr claims they don’t scan your files, pCloud is known to scan your files and ban you if you upload copyrighted content). In my opinion, Koofr seems to be more trustworthy, but pCloud has more features, but that might be irrelevant in your use case, since you only needs to upload a few small files for long-term storage.
