I think that it explicitly states that by using it, you allow Google to harvest the content of your Drive.

Also, are confidentiality issues involved when we keep things like TMs on the cloud? [/quote]
For GoogleDrive and Dropbox you can use BoxCryptor.
Wuala and SpiderOak are two cloud services that come with end-to-end encryption.
Now how about the TMs that you are going to store? I would say that CAT tools that store their TMs in TMX (CafeTran, omegaT) and not in a binary format, are in favour here.

Google will not "harvest the content of your drive", don't worry. Google won't do anything sinister with the content of the documents on your computer. That would be insane. That's just an urban myth people like to tell around the campfire ;)
A special encryption solution can be used, but please be aware that unless you really know what you are doing, things can easily go very wrong. One wrong move (for example if you forget your master password) and you might lose access to all your own data permanently.
