Hello, the question may sound out of topic but have you considered open source solution such as Nextcloud? Personally I found privacy very important and that's what I picked. It was clearly not at the same level than Google drive at the beginning but it improved a lot those past years and is now very good in my opinion.

iCloud seems peerless from a privacy standpoint.

I haven’t seen this mentioned much on HN (perhaps because it’s relatively new, an opt-in feature, and not open-source), but iCloud offers E2EE for most of its services. Of course, one has to implicitly trust Apple’s implementation as I don’t believe this is auditable by independent sources. Would love somebody more knowledgeable than me in this topic chiming in!

Nextcloud is great

I run an instance

But you're still paying for the space (and, if you're like me, also the server infrastructure to run it (and spending time keeping it up-to-date, etc))
