My trust for all of these companies is lost anyway. I can't trust them anymore until they remove the need to trust them I'm not sure that is at all achievable

I'm not sure that is at all achievable as long as they have the ability to hold any significant data centrally...
So that makes services like Gmail and Google itself... all impossible. Even GDocs and GDrive (potentially achievable with some client-side encryption) would require trusting Google that it does not transmit anything to the backend.
There is no way Google will do that, so the only alternative is: replace the Google behemoth with a million alternatives. Reverse the trend of centralisation and instead offer a myriad services that all do more or less the same thing, but in different jurisdictions, with different security protocols, etc.
Any industry player that can store a significant fraction of the world's information in one place is a danger to freedom, since eventually they will be secretly requested to hand it all over by a secret court.
