Protip: if you need cloud storage for backup purposes (you shouldn't store your files primarily on a machine you don't own, but backup is another story), use Rclone. It's a sync client for many cloud storage providers, but has amazing features.
If setup correctly, it can encrypt your data locally before uploading it to the cloud, and can even make a single seamless big cloud drive from joining together many small (free :D) accounts.
It works well, I have it automatically sync my stuff encrypted to the cloud from my NAS every night.
I know, that's why I put emphasis on the encryption!
I enjoy a similar tool called borg backup, which uses end to end encryption by default
