Your files are being read by Google. As you already know, Google
harvests your data for its own purposes. So while Google might be
keeping your files secure, they are certainly not private.'


I do my own local encryption of sensitive files before I upload them to
Google Drive using an old version of FolderLatch.exe. Probably wouldn't
pass CIA muster but still makes me feel better. I don't do non-sensitive
stuff like photos. That way they're always available to bore people with
no matter which device I'm carrying...
