I’m slightly confused by your term “data privacy”, because it’s such a broad term - or do you mean “Advanced Privacy” the app?

  1. AP (as in Advanced Privacy) has three components: tracker block via dns, location spoof and Tor as “hide-my-ip”. Did you disable all options? then the app won’t contribute. The first option, anti-tracker is sensible, the other’s I’d leave off. I see you just now encountered the post where some explaining takes place - Advanced Privacy - know all about it

  2. becase the Tor / hide-my-ip component has to be implemented as “VPN” (a network interface basically), you can’t use another VPN at the same time if you enable that feature. You can leave it off and use the others

  3. Shelter helps in compartmentalisation, so yes I think it helps with Apps that want to share your contacts and you have reasons to contain this behaviour even accidentally

  4. “what files are synced” → these folders and anyting in those will be synced Files · a645de5d · e / os / eDrive · GitLab by the in-built webdav client (“eDrive”). The official nextcloud client will do it as to your settings

  5. haven’t used the official nextcloud client lately, didn’t know myself it’s integrated into the Files App
