Reply to comment by Digital-Chupacabra in ELI5: Why does Google offer all these free services like Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Sites, Forms, etc. without any ads on them? How does Google benefit from this and why do they invest so much in creating and maintaining them? by Elena_Edie
Google may not be after your actual content, but they'll gladly sell your Metadata to the highest bidder...hopefully it's not your mother-in-law.

They don’t actually sell your data to anyone: they sell access to you as a persona to advertise to.
Selling your data would defeat the entire purpose.
