Cloud storage is ubiquitous: Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive are household names. However, these services do not provide end-to-end encryption (E2EE), meaning that the provider has access to the data stored on their servers. The promise of end-to-end encrypted cloud storage is that users can have the best of both worlds, keeping control of their data using cryptographic techniques, while still benefiting from low-cost storage solutions.
