I'd rather not upload my files on remote servers. No matter if open source or no
The file does not get uploaded to remote servers. It passes through them, fully encrypted, and the server does not have the keys to decrypt your files.
What does this mean vs uploaded?
It's transient.
If it passes through, that means it is present on the server's storage, even if for a short period of time
All your data and traffic passes through various routers and servers (both of which are computers and have memory) while you do anything on the internet (You can find the list of such computers by doing a traceroute). But because it is end to end encrypted - you don't care.
this is why i have developed my own cloud solution. a file server that i host myself
