This is extra bad because they want you to use cloud files in gdrive (I can't remember what the feature is actually called), which doesn't save the content locally on your computer, but puts an icon that will download the content from Google servers when you click on it. This means you have no local backup of your data in your computer backups.
This is also why we're screaming about Windows and it's integrated AI that can scan your drive. What Google is doing here Windows could do in the future with your local files. "That's a nice collection of 2000s MP3s you have aaaand it's gone."
"That's a nice program you have there but the creator has revoked the licensing. So we disabled it until you update your license"
And even then, if you make sure to copy the actual file, you'd still depend on them to open it if it's in their proprietary format.
