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.

Google drive or any internet based storage software is never the best option for storing your seedphrase when we have other better choices like the use of an airgapped device or better still, a less expensive medium like the manual  backup using a paper to store you mnemonic seed. 6 or 8 digits passwords can easily  get brute forced compare to a 12 random word seed phrase, that is the reason passwords weren't used to encrypt your wallet mnemonic seed because it'll be much more difficult to brute force. However saving your seed phrase in a device which has an internet connection is not the right thing to do, as your screen can be shared even without your permission just by clicking a link or automatic redirecting from our regular internet web page.
