This has been one of the wrong mind set the new beginner in the cryptocurrency space are  failing to understand, the backing up seedphase of a wallet on google drive is like making it more faster an easier for scammer to attack the wallet, from  the less research i have made so far on this i have come to the conclusion that saving up wallet seedphase to any Google  drive device's help and make it easier  for scammer to hack the device in other to get the seedphase,70% of victim's in the cryptocurrency community are facing this  current situation and are  suffering from the hackers here and there, it high time people start saving up there seedphase on local writing methods like papers, many people are having this feelings that Google drive can't be hacked but to me i guess prevention is better than cure.

Would anyone store banking credentials on google drive ? I guess no. The same goes with bitcoin private keys.
In fact, it would be best to keep the private key as offline as possible. No google drive or any kind of cloud storage.
We never know when a hacker gets hold of our online account and gets all the data from there.
If we have stored our private keys there then it would be a lottery for the hacker.

It's already discussed so many times that our private keys are the only way to access our funds.
If we lose them or if someone else gets to access them then we should consider all our funds in it as lost.
