But the Google Cloud does no have a competing offering. It has none publicly, so it would be of real interest if they only have it for big customers handing over their first born son or for everyone on request but not advertising it like AWS.

To the best of my knowledge, all of Evernote's data transfer was done over a network, not using an undisclosed AWS Snowball-like service.
