If you store your files on someone else's servers, then they can access the files. Either law enforcement can make them do it, or the server admins can steal your data, or just expose it through negligence. The best way to protect files is to use encryption, but it must be done locally, not on the cloud server. There are many tools that will do this: Truecrypt http://www.truecrypt.org/ will encrypt entire disk volumes. Syncdocs http://www.syncdocs.com/ will encrypt files stored on Google Drive.
