I wish people would stop using the phrase "zero knowledge" willy nilly. It has a specific meaning within cryptography.

Yeah... I kept looking for the way this is ZK. Do they just mean that the files are encrypted on their servers and so they can't read them?

I understand accidentally stepping on a term from an adjacent field, but using it this way for a product that presumably is crypto-centric is a bit of a red flag.

I have no server infrastructure. ZK in this context means, that you can create an encrypted share. But, I think, it is not an appropriate term here.
