The solution I'd use is a large RAIDZ array, with snapshots. That way you get the redundancy of RAID, with the ability to rollback to past points in the filesystem, if you accidentally delete something. When you run out of space, simply expunge the snapshots until the last known good state, However given how cheap HDDs are these days, I'd plan to have enough space space to keep snapshots going back at least a few weeks. Get one of those old 24 bay 2RU IBM servers from eBay, 6x 4TB drives and set the whole thing up with FreeNAS+RAIDZ. Add drives to the bays as you need extra space, as RAIDZ can be dynamically expanded.
So this is the way that Snowden should have done it? I guess now we know that those who say "well, some good came from what he did, but he should have gone about it the right way".
We now know that there is no "right way" to deal with government, other than kick them in the ass.
It's only been around a few years and it's reaching acceptance. Look at the trajectory, and evaluate where it's headed. Do you have any evidence to support the proposition that it has come this far, but that it will go no further?
Just because the government hasn't immediately confiscated something from you does not mean that there is no long term plan to do so.
Furthermore, the aim of the powerful is to preserve their power. If their agenda is met without sparking malcontent by taking toys away then they will let you have all the toys that don't matter.
What are the toys that matter? Well the tools, lobby group connections and access to finance required to run a presidential campaign for starters.
That analogy is useful, however with the rubber sheet example there is the force to time misrepresented analogy. That ant example is just changes the time analogy to bring motion rather than force, and is also flawed thus. There really isn't a way to understand relativity without, well, understanding relativity.
Wow. It's rate to see genuine insight into positive relationship management these days. The norm today seems to be "if you're dealing with an asshole, be a bigger asshole until they give up". Unfortunately, it seems that the obvious flaw in this world view has been lost.
What am I saying? STFU, we don't need your stinkin' advice around here!
So if your friends like webmail and want to be secure, set up your own community mail server using SSL protected RoundCube backended with whatever IMAP server you like. The UI is easily as good as most webmail providers, and they get the added benefit that all mail between them won't leave the server and SSL ensures that the mail is protected.
SSL protected RoundCube is the easiest way for a group of friends to securely communicate.
Self-signed certs and trivial user training for all those who care about privacy. Anyone cluey enough to know privacy is a problem is cluey enough to be able to add a cert to their browser.
See that's the thing. We always hear "well, people clamour for politicians to do something". However, I don't actually think that people do. The media makes a big deal out of disruptive events, however actual people on the streets? When was the last time you saw people staging a rally about cancer? More people are affected by cancer than are by terrorism. How about heart disease, which is the biggest killer in the US? How about car accidents?
I posit that it is government machinations that CLAIM that actions like implementing national security reforms are in response to populist demand for action, when in reality these policies are just the hammer falls of classic Hegelian dialectic methods.

God forbid someone make an on-topic reply to a joke. Noooo we can't have that, anything on topic after a joke *must* be whooshed.
+1 on this.
ZFS/RAIDZ is THE solution to this problem.
It implies nothing of the sort. I implies that they *pretend* to not have the key.
I'm not saying anything about Crashplan, I'm just pointing out the logical fallacy in saying "They don't help you, therefore they can't help you."

What was Bitcoin's value two years back from today? And which stock index, mutual fund or hell even stock has outperformed that?

Not that I have any idea what I'm taking about.
Why buy it? Surely there are open source options for that sort of thing?
And about as scary as a teddy bear.
Math fail.

The answer: Don't use cloud.
OwnCloud. Zimbra. Jitsi. OpenSIP. All of these allow for strong encryption.
What do we need commercial cloud services for again?
