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!
I though that you mostly will need to worry about all those stuffs when you’re making use of a private wallet that stores on your device, but that’s not true. And those that are making use of Google drive to store their private keys are taking a big risk if their Google account is hacked, information can be stolen and used to also get to their wallet. I will advise anyone to better make use of paper to write down their private keys and keep it somewhere safe.
