How secure is iCloud ?

As title - I have recently switched to an Apple ecosystem and always used dropbox to keep my documents and business documents in - always handy to have them backed up and and accessible and never had any issues, however as another backup I was thinking of copying my stuff to my icloud account as well - is this fairly secure? I heard its not encrypted etc?

Dropbox scan peoples data, can't remember the exact details but it all came out when their new CEO took over. Same as Google for ad scanning etc. Microsoft and Apple don't do that.

Well Jesus, time to go to icloud!! lol

It's probably not as bad as I make it sound, but I just don't trust them. Same reason I'm moving all my email away from Google.

Darn I rely on google mail for my business

- it is good tbf from a user POV, so i cant really move it now
