Google Drive

Drive is governed by the same overall Google data framework documented in the Google/Alphabet row, and the specific thing worth flagging is scanning: Google performs automated content analysis on stored files for abuse detection and policy enforcement, which is how account suspensions over stored content occur. Files in Drive are encrypted at rest with keys Google holds, not end-to-end, so 'encrypted' here means protected from outside intruders rather than from the provider. For a small business storing client files, that distinction determines whether Drive is appropriate for confidential material, and it is not surfaced anywhere in the signup flow.
