The article doesn’t explain how this app is safe even though it’s in the title. You understandably have to allow it extensive access to your data, so how does one know it isn’t saving off some of that data to their server? If they are monetizing some of ones data, exactly what are they collecting?
I was expecting this article to verify what the app is connecting to using a packet trace or similar method. There shouldn’t be much going anywhere except to the Google drive server.
I’m surprised that a self-proclaimed “Expert” claims that this app was created by Microsoft and THAT is why it is safe. Also, the “Fact Checker” couldn’t verify what we can easily verify. I wouldn’t trust anything from this author or this web site after this.

Later, he sold the app to Carbonite, a cloud backup company, in 2015. Carbonite then transferred the app to SyncTech Pty Ltd, an Australian software company, in 2017.
