According to that article, they also snoop on the content of any files stored in Drive.

To think, just a decade ago, this article seemed paranoid, to the point where even the author seemed to think it was an oversight in the Terms of Service:

Interestingly, they give (gave?) themselves redistribution and performance rights for Drive contents at the same time. How long until they start openly using those rights, I wonder?

Where does the article say they snoop?

Drive is unencrypted because it is indexed for personal search. What is the snooping part?

> redistribution and performance rights for Drive

This is completely standard and required so that they can provide syncing and sharing.
