Cloud Storage

Don't auto sync ANY document to the cloud. Most servers store your files unencrypted - no matter what they say (of the few that can/have be examined, most told customers there data was safe (sometimes also said it was encrypted)and yet they stored the data exactly as sent to them.)

If this is your business you are betting your opposition is not going to try hacking to get your data. You are further betting that an APT will not hack and just send your data to a friendly company of the same nationality as theirs.

So if you send encrypted files, that's what's stored, right?

Good points, if security is the top priority. For non-business users, I think that's less of a concern, just avoid storing sensitive data such as credit card data.

But only if the failure mechanisms are uncorrelated.

encrypted files are fine - as long as the password is strong (use a password manager)

designed by an experienced and respected cryptographer - there is even a port that will run on a RPi!
