[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 917578, member: 39702"] This is just wrong. You're literally saying that encryption that we know doesn't exist. Encryption cannot be broken without decryption keys. So, no, Google cannot decrypt my files if I don't give them the key. If that was possible, government authorities would be able to see everything and wouldn't need help from Apple to unlock some guys device. As I said, companies only have data you give them. If your name is [I]John[/I], but you make a Google account with the name [I]Steve[/I], Google will know you as [I]Steve[/I], not [I]John[/I]. I find it funny how everyone hates Google, but constantly use their services. I met dozen of people that swear they don't use Google, but at the same time they have Google account, regularly use YouTube (maybe way too much) and aren't even aware of Google presence on every website they visit. Listen; I understand you hate Google and I agree there are a lot of reason why we should hate it. But I honestly think you cannot escape it. No matter how you try, you literally cannot escape it. The one thing you can do is pretend everything is ok and think you don't use Google. Every website you visit has something Google related; from tracking scripts, CDN, fonts. A lot of modern websites even depend on Google for scripts, so blocking Google would break huge number of websites. I'd honestly recommend you do that; it will show you how Google is spread throughout the web. And trust me, encrypted files in your Google Drive are the least what you're supposed to be worried about. There are much, much more evil companies that follow you around (read: Facebook). [/QUOTE]
