Hi Charles. Regarding #1, there are dozens of open source projects and companies that support end-to-end encryption for Dropbox-like storage services. In fact, Box KeySafe already supports customer-managed keys.
Some examples that support end-to-end encryption: Boxcryptor, Mozy (now EMC), Owncloud, Spideroak, Sync, Sookasa, Tresorit, Wuala (defunct). I only give these as examples and do not endorse any in particular; some of these may be poor quality or no longer active. People have stored encrypted disk volumes on a cloud services using something like Truecrypt or Veracrypt. For PGP specifically, PGPDisk was created almost 20 years old (and is obsolete). That doesn't preclude building something to learn. But if you share it, make it very clear that it is for learning purposes only and not for security.

I think it would be relatively easy to write a program where any file I save in folder X automatically gets encrypted and saved to folder Y Box/Dropbox/etc. Any new files saved in Y which my key can open get opened and put in folder X. Since the private key password would be saved for this to work automatically, it would be worthless if someone got on my machine, but if one of the cloud providers gets compromised, all they would have is a collection of encrypted files.
