They can also intercept the files just before they are encrypted, just after they are decrypted, or worse secretly turn off encryption. So encrypt the files prperly, THEN upload them.

Better use a
cloud service that uses delta files so you only sync the changed bits and not the whole file. Forget about google drive or skydrive it will upload it ll over again even if you changed only one character.
Use truecrypt containers and
dropbox will just rock.
You mount a truecrypt container and do whatever you want, at the end just unmount and
dropbox will sync it automatically
