Not used it myself but think Stingle mentioned on HN in August. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/foss-mobile-app-stin...
Start using film, develop it yourself, lock it in a safe.
Personally, I would just use a regular usb and hide it. Sometimes hiding the data is better than encrypting it (or both would be ideal). Really, the weak point in the system wi be the device taking the pictures and accessing the USB, not the USB itself (in my opinion).

You could keep them in an encrypted disk image.
Exactly this with for example cryptomator if you want ease of use. You can then upload the image to whatever cloud provider you want.
This worked perfectly. Thanks!
Encrypt and store anywhere you want, including in a cloud.
I have Nextcloud set-up on a server from Hetzner and then I use Cryptomator to encrypt and store whatever I consider "sensitive".
Do you think Cryptomator is safe even with ready-to-use cloud services like Dropbox? I admittedly don't understand enough about this to know the risks, which is why I've always avoided uploading my private data.
Another risk I see is that today's encryption will be easily broken in the future. What if they're storing everything to decrypt it later? Granted, this is a bit paranoid but not impossible. You'd have to have really complicated and long passwords to protect against that.

I am very glad to hear. I have been very pleased since I switched from Dropbox to this set-up. I also use Nextcloud without the Cryptomator-directory for more ordinary file-sharing between devices.
I tried using a USB flash drive that encrypts itself when unmounted. It has a physical keypad to unencrypt. However when using with an iPhone the photos become corrupt as there is no "unmount" method on the iPhone.
Any other ideas?
