You should be able to use some form of symmetric encryption on a cloud storage.

You could even do restic backup to a cloud storage like Icedrive.

Why does Totem need to be replaced?

Totem is still a GTK3 app and is unmaintained (in part due to a crusty codebase), seeing no major development in years. Replacing it with a modern GTK4/libadwaita app designed to use modern technologies and meet modern needs has been a “high priority” for GNOME.

I do wish it had a self hosted docker though. I could see Proton mail and thunder mail adopting it that way, which would be neat.
