At about 7:40 in this interview:

Edward Snowden recommends Spideroak for cloud storage.
In a discussion (around the 7:40 mark) of zero-knowledge systems whose
operators can't spy on you even if they want to, Snowden reminds us that
Dropbox is an NSA surveillance target cited in the original Prism leaks,
and that the company has since added Condoleeza Rice, "probably the
most anti-privacy official we can imagine," to its Board of Directors.
He contrasts Dropbox with its competitor, Spideroak, whose system is
structured so that it can't betray you, even if Condi Rice wanted it to.
