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

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.
