You could run something like Cryptomator on top of Dropbox:

https://cryptomator.org/

It even has (paid) iOS and Android apps for mobile access.

Boxcryptor used to be amazing for this till they got acquired by Dropbox. Last I checked cryptomator couple years ago it still hand random file corruption risk, is that still true?

For now I just use hetzner storage share.
