The VPS doesn't really belong to you. Google has exactly the same ability to view your secret file shared unencrypted over Drive as they do to view your file stored on your f1-micro instance.
- megous 7y agoThat's just your assumption. VPS != Google. It's just a virtual machine running on some HW. I agree that if that HW is not owned by you, it can be a problem. If that's a problem you can just add another layer of encryption to the mix, like a GPG command. I can and do own that HW. At least as much as one can own anything - it's located in my appartment. You can just as well run the web server from your own workstation/laptop. The only reason to put shared files on other computer is that the other computer is more available.
