This should be obvious
It should be, but it isn't. To techies, yes. We understand that Google/Dropbox/iCloud/CloudDriveX(tm) can and probably will use information accessed through these services. To others, though, it's just like saying some company can "read your hard drive and look at your stuff" which is unexpected and unsettling.
Normal users expect their files to be just that-their files.
Whether this is an invasion of privacy or just the new normal is up for debate.
