> If MS patched Office to upload your local files to MS servers, you would have a very strong case against them for "stealing" your files. If you upload them to OneDrive/Google Drive, not so much.

At work, we use exchange. In the webmail settings, there's a list of plugins, many of which provide basic, necessary core features such as meeting invitations. All the microsoft plugins had a disclaimer along the lines of "This plugin may send your mail and data to a third-party server".

Not saying they're archiving it, but I'm not sure running microsoft software is a great idea if you're very worried about the security of your data.
