> I know Dropbox will be Dropbox in 5 years. How can we be sure Google Drive won't be shuttered in less time?
Dropbox could be acquired and shuttered (or worse, data-mined). Google - much less likely, though it does have a tendency to close projects it does't see as strategic.
I'd say the risks are equivalent. Hedge your bets, use multiple services and secure it all with something like Boxcryptor.
