I would say don't trust free services in general. There are plenty of paid service providers that handle your data well.

TbF I pay for Google drive (but still don't trust them)

Right, Google isn't one to trust. So paid services and clear data handling practices.

Paid services doesn't equal security though. I think box.com has pretty good security and is free. Microsoft paid onedrive is a little sketchy to me. Not a drive service, but 23andme is a good recent example of non ad based services not necessarily being more secure.
