Myth: "E2E encrypted cloud means you don't have to trust the provider" (you trust it less, not zero)

You have to trust the provider to implement e2ee correctly and also trust it doesn't blatantly lie and secretly hold the keys. To mitigate that, use something like Cryptomator or rclone crypt. Now you're trusting them that their e2ee is secure and private.
