That's what I do with Google Drive?

If I were to get banned from Google, I'd still have my folder as a backup which I can then upload to Dropbox or whatever alternative.

If I were to lose my folder (My hard drive went bust!) my folder is one resync away.

What is the problem you have with photos, and videos in that sense?

Or are you talking about the Free "Google Photo" thing for lower resolution images?

Careful with Google Docs & Sheets though. The Google Docs files you see in your local folder are only links, no content.

Google Drive doesn't back up email and calendar your private machine.
