What he said. Actually, perks, you beat me to it, almost exactly what I was I was about to type, until I saw your post.
Honestly, I don't believe there is a hosting solution on the planet (or in the "cloud") that can't be compromised; or fall victim to the same types of attacks as a localized server. Redundant arrays are only a stopgap security measure, if an entire network becomes crippled.
That's not paranoia, but just a pragmatic outlook.
In particular, I can think of plenty of reasons why hackers, etc, might feel inclined to stick it to Google, given that entity's propensity for paving the way in data mining, so if folks want to keep their data on G-Drive, I seriously hope that it is kept somewhere safe at home at the same time. Just sayin'.
Personally, I'm still a big fan of using data discs as one form of backup, because in a worst-case scenario, it might be easier to stomach the loss of 4.7GB worth of data, as opposed to 1TB (or more).
Having said that, I'm a tad regretful that a while back when I learned the JVC TY DVD discs were being discontinued, I didn't stock up on *more* of them than I did, as it seems a number of counterfeiters have been infiltrating the market with inferior knock-offs that claim to be Powered by TY Technology, or what have you. I've recently picked up a few various brands making this claim (including *some* which were branded CMC Pro), which turned out to be fakes. So... that's a thing now.
My 2¢ worth. YMMV. Peace out.

I'd be thinking about what your contingency plans are if (god forbid) G-Drive has an issue, or you get hacked, or whatever making the file copies in the cloud unattainable/unusable. How will you restore the data you kept at Google?
For this reason, in 2020, I continue to make and store a copy of the data files burned to a DVD as one of the three + redundancies attempting to keep my recordings around for as long as I can.
