Looking for non-US cloud storage. The more paranoid the better!

A hard drive in a PO Box; data encrypted. Retrieve it occasionally to sync it with your local storage.

Or family.

This is good, if they:

1. Understand & trust what you're doing and don't fiddle with it
1. Don't understand and just don't fiddle with it

Luckily I have a family member that fits one of those categories.

I completely get the paranoia component of needing to control all factors involved. I have that too regarding my data. But at some point trust is needed.

PO boxes can burn down. The power grid can fry everything. Even the backup as soon as you plug it in. The government can create a kind of gestapo and let them loose and you won't have the right to run a server anyways (uh?). Etc..
