  What about Google Drive, containing every document ever created on his computers. Google has for many reasons succeeded in getting techies on their side, to the point that techies are standing by them, giving up privacy and integrity completely to a giant ad company with close ties to military and government. You could not make a worse choice for your privacy if you tried.

    I do store some plain files to Google Drive and Dropbox, but mostly I created backup ZIPs, GPG them, and store for backups. My working files are on my laptop. One thing I store as plain files on Google Drive is years of Communications of ACM PDFs, and other purchased material - it is all searchable. Mostly though, I agree with you.
