### Why do we not use server-side encryption?

Example question:

> to be good?

Answer:

Server-side encryption doesn't help us with our current setup. We're
hosting the Nextcloud server and its files at the same provider.

If we would be (say) hosting the server at provider A and the files at
(say) provider B, that would give us some protection because an
provider B compromise wouldn't compromise the files. But that's not
our configuration, so server-side encryption doesn't give us
additional security benefits.
