It basically acts as a transport medium between your hard drive and Gmail. Once in Gmail, your files are treated like attachments (which I don't think Google can see). GDrive is third-party software, too. Think of it as a go-between that lets you extend your desktop into Gmail. Gmail really can't see what you've put there because it's an attachment to a file, just like all that other sensitive stuff you're sending.
