Do you need to access your printer over the internet? Possibly not. But your position is that BL are sending data to their cloud service without good reason. That it offers a feature not provided by Octoprint and Mainsail is that good reason. There are even 3rd party services for Octoprint to ADD this functionality and they charge money for it e.g. https://polar3d.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
Polar Cloud is hosted in the west and in my opinion integrates better with the printer than Flashcloud. Source: over 2 years ago
Have 3 flashforge guider IIs that connect to polar cloud, https://polar3d.com/. Don’t know if this is a flashforge program or 3rd party. There is a setting to allow for polar cloud connect. Source: over 2 years ago

The quickest fix I know is to use the free meshmixer. Source: about 1 year ago
There are programs such as Meshmixer specifically intended to do that, others such as Blender which can do a good job (but beware of missing surfaces or inside-out triangles) and some CAD programs such as Fusion 360 which have the ability to convert meshes. Even Tinkercad can make some changes. It's always better to get a CAD file in a common interchange format such as a STP (STEP) file if you can, though. Source: about 1 year ago
Meshmixer seems to be no longer in developement, with their integration of similar features with fusion360 according to their site https://meshmixer.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
