Is it true they own the files the moment they are uploaded?

Why not just read for yourself?
https://drive.google.com/start#home

5GB free seems like it would be worth an initial low risk test.

....and a little more to read. It seems that they all give themselves
permission to move your stuff around if it makes their service work.
Apple is actually the worst of these with iCloud, as they reserve the
right to delete anything they deem "objectionable".

That is also the beauty of using your own hard drive/server with
Pogoplug, your truly critical stuff never touches their servers, and
you can save anything you want. Less critical/sensitive stuff can go to
their free 5GB "cloud" with pretty much the same TOS as all the other
cloud servers.
