IMO, the real issue is relying on any single storage solution for such critical and hard to replace data. You should always have multiple, redundant, tested backups of such data, the minimum being 3 copies, in 2 different formats, with at least one located offsite.

That said, Google does ha reputation for this shit, especially on their free plans, so, you should definitely keep that in mind when storing data on Google Drive.

In addition, encrypted backup means they can't do arbitrary scans and decide your content is wrong

While it does make it harder to share things directly, its well worth the hassle

Or they decide it must be wrong because it’s encrypted.

And drive a tank and live in a bunker.

Maybe the laws should actually protect us, what the hell do we pay taxes for
