We're only talking a few docs by a single account... it is possible, semi-manually: https://medium.com/@buro9/one-account-all-of-google-4d292906... The Drive section of that.

But in essence: Share the files, make a copy once shared, delete the shared file and only the copy exists.

Better though: Don't use Google Drive for business critical docs if you're not a very high spend Google customer able to talk with an account manager. If you're a small/hobby user or individual, keep critical docs offline as well as online. Just consider it part of your business continuity plan.

Wifey's paying Google, yearly, for her SME's little GSuite / Google Workspace account. She's not paying a lot of money to Google (no adwords or anything: just the GSuite monthly payments for a few people). And yet when she calls, she gets support.

I'm not saying Google is great: what I'm saying is that once you pay even for the smallest business suite, you get to get actual people on the phone who are there to help you.
