iCloud has an Advanced Data Protection feature, that when enabled, makes one’s personal devices the only place encryption keys are stored. Unless you live in the UK that is.
I trust no closed-source encryption mechanism. If I had to use any kind of cloud backup solution, I would first encrypt the files locally with a mechanism that I fully control.
I have been thinking of doing such thing to keep backups of my home Nextcloud server.
The funny thing is that after a problem with iCloud many people foun their “deleted” things to show up as if they weren’t ever deleted…i wonder how much it’s secure
iCloud didn’t leak that data. It was all done via phishing. Apple responded by forcing everyone to use two factor authentication. This was 11 years ago.
This sort of histrionic nonsense is always pushed by people who use Android.

Or you could encrypt it yourself and not trust a private company’s word.
Anyone remember when a bunch of celebrities had their iCloud information and data leaked?
Or that Apple has been caught helping the NSA and other alphabet soup government agencies with their keys?
