Why in the world should I trust one big corporation with my files as opposed to another? (Google v. Microsoft)

Well, If I have to choose one over the other, it sure wouldn't be MS. Still it's pretty stupid from my view to store your files/information where you have virtually no legal assurance of ownership or privacy or even security. I'm positive that, if they all go bye bye tomorrow, you'll be up a creek without a paddle.

@jimf,

Exactly - and there's no assurance that Google won't use any of my files nor access them without my knowledge or permission.

Read the User agreement carefully. I use them for gmail - but I use that account for non-sensitive things.

I'm confused. Are you talking about Google, or your Windows partition?
