To my hypothesis, there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts who are fond of keeping their private keys, Keystore / JSON File, seed words, mnemonic phrases etc to their wallet on cloud storage platforms like google drive and the several others. From my little research and experience, I personally think to keep these sensitive data isn't the best due to its nature of proneness to unauthorized accesses.

I'm positive there are individuals in this forum with profound knowledge regarding this topic. We would be grateful if you share with us your experience, tips, advice and most importantly, secured ways and means we can manage our private keys.

Thank You!
Why the fuck would anyone have their private keys in a cloud storage? Might as well deposit a million dollars in an exchange and get your account blocked or even invest in a scam.

Store your private keys and other important stuff in an offline data storage, like a USB drive. That's the easiest way. Have your working antivirus installed in your pc all the time and be careful on which websites you visit and just don't get phished.
