Yeah, I am NEVER going to use iCloud, Google Cloud, or any other remote storage in which the company can be compelled to decrypt, but yet I cannot encrypt data before sending it to them.
There are 3 parts to that:
1) Companies that are within US jurisdiction
2) Companies that retain the ability to decrypt via a master key
3) Companies that control the access to the storage such that you don't have the opportunity to encrypt at your end
Apple fall foul of all of that, Dropbox only the first two (you could create a Truecrypt volume and sync that via Dropbox).
Google we don't yet know about, probably the first two, not sure on the last.
