What is the best cloud storage that gives a nice balance between features and privacy? I know you can manually encrypt files to use any provider, but I would prefer an open source E2EE for the sake of convenience.

Currently I have heard about the following:

proton
filen
sync
icedrive
pcloud

(Not including GDrive, Onedrive etc..)

Yeah that's what I do. I use filen because it's nice and easy to use and I got in early and got a good deal on a lifetime plan (actually two because you could stack them at the time, I dunno if you still can), but yeah I encrypt everything locally first before I upload it so it doesn't really matter if it gets stolen or whatever.

If you do that then I don't think it really matters especially where you put it.
