    end-to-end encryption

    This wording is concerning, although arguably encrypting a file locally offline then decrypting it again is end-to-end too…

      End to end encryption means user to user.

      Not a local storage… Your example is just an encrypted storage, there is no end.

        That’s what’s concerning, it’s implying that this won’t be protected.

          What this? The user to user or device encryption? From the article, it seems that they stand also against device scanning.

            “This” refers to any other type of encryption. Such as encrypting individual files.
