Poll: How much do you trust Google?

There could be another option:

I no longer trust Google and I have moved some of my data to other services

I have moved my stuff off of Drive, stopped using Google+, but I continue to use GMail until I feel like I have a good solution for email.

Can you let us know the other services you have migrated to? Would help.

Not the OP, but I've moved a lot of my file hosting from both Google and Dropbox services to a self-hosted install of OwnCloud. Unfortunately, one of my preferred ways of using Dropbox for sharing single files directly without an HTML interstitial page is not well supported by OwnCloud.

I, too, have stopped using Google+, and did not replace it with anything. I have gotten rid of my accounts on all social networking platforms.

https://github.com/owncloud

Shouldn't be too hard to make it supply you with the direct download link - it has to know it somewhere! Just fork it ;)

I use rsync+gpg to sync encrypted files on a VPS. I use Twitter instead of G+. I share photos/videos/audio with MediaCrush.
