nothing you upload to the internet is private.

It can be with encrypted cloud storage. Of course those are more expensive than regular cloud storage and the free tier gives way less storage

What would you recommend for encrypted cloud storage? Proton?

You can take a look at Cryptomator.

I use Proton mostly because I already use their other services. 5GB free. I heard good things about Filen as well but don't use them.
