Hi all,

I'm extremely paranoid when it comes to any cloud service.  They can
say anything to make you believe that they won't store your stuff for
future nefarious reasons.  I know that google and apple both do this.
I use protonmail, but I do not really trust them with confidential
information.  If I want to send a halfway secure message, I encrypt a
message file using gpg and send the encrypted message as an attachment.
I assuime that the NSA and others can decrypt any message which is why
I say halfway secure.
