I will put stuff like tax returns and my apartment lease into iCloud and just delete everything else.

I never end up coming back to anything and thinking about organizing files is just not fun to me.

Take care with iCloud as it's just a syncing tool, not a backup one. You should probably have timestamped backups in some (encrypted) drives or other online storage.

I honestly have never looked at them again. If iCloud loses them, that's life. I just don't care enough to be bothered. Data storage isn't a hobby of mine.

I don't like having my data in the cloud. I just use syncthing for now for backups, but setting up a proper NAS and improving my backup strategy is on my todo list.

Isn't it easier to just like having your data in the cloud and not spend your time on setting up a proper NAS and improving your backup strategy? Or is it more that you find that kind of tinkering fun and a good use of your time?

Cloud is good enough for millions of people. What makes you different?

[curious_soul]

I care about data privacy.

[paulcole]

Fair enough. Have fun setting up the NAS.

iCloud has E2EE with ADP, if that's something that would interest you.
