And lose their entire cloud business in the process, and their spot as one of the only two viable aws competitors.

Brilliant. Truly.

That likely won't happen but then as mentioned in other comments. 1st collaboration with google, 2nd move to google cloud, 3rd acquisition by google...?

I don't see how this is a collaboration with google. Instead, it appears the reporter poorly informed about what google cloud platform is and is not.

The closest thing to collaboration is the ability to access google drive documents from within evernote.
