A system for maximizing storage of encrypted content in a storage system includes one or more processors; and a storage medium storing instructions. When executed, the instructions may configure the one or more processors to: receive, from a first client device, a first data structure encrypted commutatively with a first key and a common key, the receiving system lacking access to the common key; receive the first key and a first segment identifier; receive, from a second client device, a second data structure encrypted commutatively with a second key and the common key; receive a second segment identifier; using the first key, partially decrypt the first data structure; storing the partially decrypted first data structure; and selectively storing a copy of the second data structure based on whether content of the first data structure corresponds to content of the second data structure.
