They just read the file.
You seem to be under the impression that either of those imply end-to-end encryption, which they don't. (And in Drive's case, AFAIK, E2EE is not an offered nor advertised feature.) The data was encrypted during transmission to Google's servers, sure, but it was encrypted to them; similarly, yeah, they store it encrypted … and they have the key.
(This isn't atypical either, sadly. E2EE is the exception…)
