We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Most of them won't really do anything about what you upload unless somebody specifically reports it. I would still recommend encrypting anything important like legal documents or whatever but if you're worried they're going to get at you for a pirated movie or something like that I promise you they aren't, unless you're sharing that around with a bunch of people
I can confirm that at least both Dropbox and Google drive will not throw a fit about that kind of material as long as nobody reports it
And if you're really paranoid just throw them in a password-protected raw file and set it to encrypt the file names as well and then they pretty much can't do anything about it
