I'm aware of nothing in Google's terms which isn't in the terms of every other user-generated-content service that has lawyers on staff.

In order to make copies (distributed storage, network traffic, etc.) and show copies to people -- including you, or anyone you choose to share a file or post with -- they basically have to have a license from you, or they're potentially on the wrong side of copyright law.

Then you need to read the damned TOS side by side with dropbox. They are significantly different in scope and the rights allowed.
