A backup I just downloaded (a json file) from Nostr Profile Manager, does this contain secret data? Can I store this json file unencrypted in the the cloud? Anyone knows this? Thank you
If your client does not use Outbox model yet, please go to https://metadata.nostr.com/, click relays and set it up.
Without that setting, Outbox clients cannot find your posts. Your follows won't find you.
Tips:
- You only need a maximum of 4 relays in that list.
- Mark as "Write" the relays that have all content written and signed by you.
- Mark as "Read" the public relays that you want your follows to use when sending notifications to you.
That's all you need to do.

I believe it's just the public data of your kind-0 entry, not your nsec or anything like that
Maybe you are right. I have opened the JSON file, and I cannot find my private key. However, I do see signatures and other items that I do not understand. That was the reason for my question. However, I took the gamble and backed it up to the cloud already without encryption...
I'm sure now, definitely no private key. I don't understand much about the signatures either but the signatures are always public on the nostr relays too as I understand it. Good of you to open up the file and check it out 🤙
