Not only insurance companies, but many others.

Airlines do it too. One dark pattern I experienced during Covid was that the airline call system was automatically set to hang up after 30 minutes. If you were lucky you'd get to speak to a representative at around minute 25, but never get your ticket rebooked.

We use Syncdocs (https://syncdocs.com) to do end-to-end Google Drive encryption.

The keys stay on the client. It is secure, but means the files are only decryptable on the client, so keys need to be shared manually. I guess security means extra hassle.

It is a pity it does not apply in Australia. They search 40,000 devices a year there, and consfiscate your device if you refuse.

Many of the technical and science stuff is still pretty good. Not like it used to be, but it's a recurring theme, when the Internet expanded, UseNet also became rubbish, "infested by AOL'ers and spam" was the complaint in 1996.

You can use Rsync to copy everything from Google Drive as a cron job. If you want copies of your Google Docs and Sheets you'll need something like SyncDocs to download and convert them to MS Office format.

You might also want to look at Syncdocs - http://syncdocs.com. It encrypts files while syncing to Google Drive and decrypts them on download.
