The Foundation uses Google Drive/Docs internally. And extensively so, right? Why don't you publish a request that Google secure it such that you are able to abide by your existing international privacy policy obligations when using their systems, such as by developing a secure end-to-end encrypting client for Drive, Docs, and Gmail, as they are already rumored to be working on in http://rt.com/usa/google-experimenting-nsa-encryption-report-230/
You could ask the same of Apple, Yahoo, Skype, Microsoft, etc. Is there any reason this would not be prudent?
I hope your move went well.
