You didn't even read my comment before commenting, did you?
> I don't understand how you could possibly claim the Google Drive is in any way more secure than OwnCloud.
It depends on your threat model. Against the US? It's wise to assume it's game over, no matter what you do, here.
Foreign state actors? ownCloud is seriously pwnable. not quite so with Google services (unless that foreign gov't has an intelligence sharing agreement with Google)
Criminals? Again, ownCloud is seriously pwnable.
I'm a US citizen, so I'm primarily concerned with foreign and criminal actors (knowing that it's game over versus US intelligence), therefore ownCloud does not fit my threat model.
