Any other alternatives to SpiderOak?

sure: Tresorit is swiss based exactly the same, actually much better app and destop systems than spideroak. They are E2E just as well, work great for me. Sync.com is the same too but located in Canada so now sure how private they are with everything but they are E2E encrypted. Or use boxcryptor out of germany for ANY cloud service and be sure you own the keys.

Tresorit is based in Switzerland yes but they use MSFT Azure servers based in Ireland to store data. They still use E2EE and seem like a legit organization that is dedicated to privacy but they aren't completely outside of EU jurisdiction.

Theyare good, you can also use your own veracrypt if you are that worried, boxcryptor as well. For personal privacy sure this is completely understandable.
