Cloud drives are a cache. (Actually treat all storage as a cache, i.e. the data will be lost, it's just a matter of when.).

Good advice. This is why I encourage anyone with sensitive digital data (photos, important receipts, etc) to set up a 3-2-1 backup:

3 copies of the data,

2 of which are on different, local mediums (i.e. hard drive and a thumb drive)

1 of which is offsite (cloud storage, safe deposit box, salt mine, etc)
