I finally got off of Dropbox recently in favor of the iCloud with "Advanced Data Protection", i.e. end-to-end encryption.

People tend to think that "Tech Independence" [1] and "The Cloud" are at odds with each other. But, end-to-end encrypted services that sync via the cloud really are the best of both worlds - convenient and secure.

I run Boxcryptor (the unpaid version with local keys) on top of Dropbox. They have recently been acquired by Dropbox, so I’m hoping that Dropbox will be integrating E2EE as well.

(Of course that doesn’t solve the telemetry issue.)

E2EE telemetry ;)
