Just saw someone whose Google account was shuttered. They’d been… using Sheets to track movies they’d watched.
A question people should ask themselves, but rarely do: What would you do if, tomorrow, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Dropbox, and every other cloud provider you use closed your account without warning? Then maybe spend some of today safeguarding against that eventuality.
@craiggrannell I recently moved 100% of my documents into iCloud Drive because why not haha and I set up a carbon copy cloner job on the mini to back up cloud storage to my NAS. That causes CCC to download any updated files so it can back them up.
It’s been fantastic having my laptop and mini synced, and also knowing I have a copy elsewhere.
The weakness is if Apple removes all of my files overnight and the job removes them from the NAS, so I have spinning hdd archives as well.

I had a boss that ran into that one. Other boss asked him "what are you doing" because he got a ton of deleted notifications from drop box.
A virus was deleting every file on his computer and dropbox was happily syncing every delete.
