This is why you don’t use Google Drive or Google Docs or any of that other bullshit.
I love seeing worldbuilders who store their thousands of hours of work in Google Docs. All it takes is for some employee to ban your account for some reason and then everything is gone.
Any time I get a roommate who buys a Chromebook, I tell them to return that shit and I refuse to allow it on the network.

Ftfy. Using any medium as the exclusive location of your data without any backup is a stupid idea, but if you’re gonna be that careless, using Google Drive is one of the less stupid options out there. The chance that google fucks up in an irrecoverable way is infinitely lower than you fucking your local storage up or your house burning down.
Privacy is another factor to this of course, but if we’re just looking at the security of your data, using only Google is way better than using only your self hosted solution.
