Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.

Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?

Yes. Homomorphic encryption is for data processing, not data storage.

  I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?

Client-side is not cloud.

Yes, you can keep client-side reasonably secure. You can’t send the data for cloud processing and seriously expect much security or privacy… for now. Encrypt client-side and use cloud as storage… maybe; encryption algorithms also have a “best by” date.
