I can assure you 99% of my data/files never see the cloud other than as encrypted containers for backup. That's good practice for most business is it not?

What do you have to hide? This makes us very suspicious. /s
I know you're /s but it's not even about privacy, it's the cost of mitigation after $cloud_service_x has a data breach and we then have to assign resources to account for _our_ clients data etc.
this is a terrible argument. Would you enjoy going to the toilet when a certain group of people (like your neighbours) could watch you doing your "business"?
Perhaps you missed the /s or didn't know it means "I am being sarcastic." A terrible argument made sarcastically is a good argument.
thanks for the clarification
-> /s
I can assure you that 99% of people and businesses do not operate that way, and that people you communicate with, buy from, and sell to, are all sending your data effectively unencrypted to the cloud.
Gdpr means data out of my control is someone else's liability. If they want to play fast and loose, that's their look out.
