Cloud encryption is just HTTPs + encryption at rest (only claimed, not verified).
They hold the keys, irrespective of how many proprietary protocols they wrap over the message.
A great product tho! I used saved messages extensively!

Not just plain-old HTTPs. MTProto 2.0 is a whole encryption algorithm for Cloud chats: https://core.telegram.org/mtproto/AJiEAwIYFoAsBGJBjZwYoQIwFM...
I do not feel it is any different from Google Chat, Twitter DMs, etc. They do have a lot of censorship resistant and anti-MITM attack features in between, but they hold the keys by default
I use it for convenience and amazing features, not for security!
