Do copies of photos on Google Photos, Google Drive, and an external hard drive count as the 3-2-1 backup method? (zerobytes.monster)

I'm trying to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule for my photos. I currently have one copy on Google Photos, another on Google Drive, and a third on an external hard drive. Does this setup qualify as a true 3-2-1 backup? I'm a bit unsure since Google Photos and Google Drive are both cloud services from the same provider. Would love to hear your thoughts!
