tbf they're fairly competent with it, I don't think I've ever had anything Google related compromised. I'm honestly not sure what the better solution is.
There's a lot of security theater around this where people will de-google their software and then run random binaries compiled by unknown people on the internet instead

Even better, they couldn’t do that even if they wanted to, because your data is encrypted on their servers. That company has also never been compromised. Does that sound better?
- Barrin92 5y agoI don't think Google does examine drive data by default, fairly sure it's encrypted. complete E2E encryption Signal style with you having sole access to the keys and sync is technically pretty non-trivial across multiple devices (also the reason they don't sync device history on previously unlinked devices), so there's a usability / security trade-off. Honestly not certain whether that fits the need of most users for most data they have.
