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.
No matter what you tell some people about leaving their seed phrase online, most of them won’t listen, they do think keeping their seed phrase online is more secure that keeping it offline, and they believe it’s easily accessible when it’s stored online, but they don’t know it’s so risky. If your seed phrase is stored online, then it’s can be easily accessible by hackers, and immediately they have access to your seed phrase, then they don’t need your permission before they will transfer everything in the wallet to another wallet.

When securing your seed phrase, it should be completely stored offline, you can decide to carve it on multiple iron steel, and hide it in different places, I just believe that’s a better way to secure your seed phrase.
