What is the best cloud storage that gives a nice balance between features and privacy? I know you can manually encrypt files to use any provider, but I would prefer an open source E2EE for the sake of convenience.

Currently I have heard about the following:

proton
filen
sync
icedrive
pcloud

(Not including GDrive, Onedrive etc..)

Cloud is just someones computer so I wouldn't ever upload anything without encrypting it manually myself first just in case .

If the client (which encrypts the data in for an E2EE service) is open source and has also been audited by third parties than there's little reason to do so

Yep but just in case yknow if your paranoid like me . also that kind of a provider is hard to come by .

I guess so, it doesn't hurt if you don't mind the inconvenience
