SpiderOakONE – Zero Knowledge Cloud Storage

Thanks for the explanation of your thinking there. FWIW, I don't think (contra the other posters) that it's that much of a stretch (of standard terminology) to call this "Zero knowledge" -- you are, after all, preventing information from flowing in a certain direction, just like in the ZK proofs.

With that said, what about "opaque" instead of "obscured" and "host" or "cloud" instead of "provider"?

Host-Opaque Cloud Storage

Cloud-Obscured Cloud Storage (okay, bad acronym)

(And I know it's kind of late for a name change anyway.)

You do realize that he is talking about terminology for the general public? The names you are suggesting are just terrible. They don't sound good and are not even close to widely understood terms (no offense intended). Perhaps you are not a native English speaker?
