Okay. I'm not seeing anything obviously problematic here. To which part are you referring?
Good for you. Up to your comfort level I guess. Im not a fan of them looking at my data though. Even though they say "please" I'm still assuming they do (they do).
"We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do"
Okay. I thought there was a problem/feature with Google Drive that made it too easy for unauthorized entities to access my files. That's the impression I get from the article in the OP. If Alphabet is checking my files for compliance reasons, as per the ToS, that is not really a security problem. Maybe there are vulnerabilities with their review process, but I don't think anyone is making that claim.
