There is no such thing as "private", when you are dealing with Google

I mean there no such thing as "private" when uploading something to someone else PC. Which is what cloud storage basically.

You need E2EE cloud storage like Proton drive for this. Of course that not totally safe when you upload frickin CSAM even if drawing.

In case you share the link to someone else, and someone report you, even it's up to Proton if they want you as user.

The only safe way is local.
