      Will the government stop or enforce other laws that prevent individuals from encrypting their own storage?

        Don’t see how they could. It would be near impossible to enforce with current technology infrastructure.

      Is that even necessary? Plug-in your iphone every once in a while to your computer to back it up. Every other iCloud service has a privacy guides.org alternative

      Use whatever cloud provider + encryption on your side. That way you don’t have to trust them.

      I use pCloud (based in Switzerland) and what I sync is a Cryptomator vault. You have other options, such as VeraCrypt, etc.

          I was doing this with documents only when I was using Veracrypt, which forces you to have a fixed volume size and I had to pick and choose what to put inside. When I discovered Cryptomator, which uses a directory and can grow as much as needed, I decided that there was no need to think about what I should encrypt and what not: let’s just put everything inside that folder and be done with it.

      You could use rclone with any service it supports as encrypted cloud storage by using its crypt feature. More technical to set up though than just installing an app.
