Thumb drives are small, easy to lose, and highly pilferable. It takes a lot more effort for someone to get into my Google Drive (it's not impossible, but unless you're really desperate to get at my school papers, it's not worth the effort). I use Google Drive as short-to-medium storage of files I access often because it's cross-platform, integrated in my Windows and Linux desktops and my Android phone, and if I don't have either one of these on hand, I can still access my files anywhere I have access to a web browser. Anything important is saved to my server at home, which has its own backup regimen. In short, cloud storage for me is many times more convenient and secure than thumb drives.
