E2EE cloud storage providers with FOSS clients? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It doesn't seem to exist. I'd like a solution to upload and sync my photos and my KeePass database, but I'm really hesitant to upload personal photos unencrypted to services exposed to the internet. Unfortunately self-hosting a Nextcloud instance on my LAN isn't possible at this moment, but maybe a VPS with a strict firewall and a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird? But honestly I'd rather just pay someone for the trouble.

What do you suggest? Clients need to be FOSS and available on Linux and Android, and on Android they need to be available on F-Droid (thus no proprietary blobs or libraries from Google).

Perhaps Cryptomator could be an option, where trust in the cloud provider isn't required

Thanks! I'll do some research about it.

I'm curious: How is Cryptomator better/worse than running rclone with client-side encryption?

Its the same. I prefer rclone since I am more comfortable using CLI (faster). But in terms of encryption, both can use AES-256 which is the best in the world rn.

i find its easier to just copy paste cryptomator everywhere into backups than rclones built in setup
